its open north of 12 I think up to about Cape Caution (for sure), but I do believe it showed it closed north of that (although nothing showing on DFO site). 1 possession in area 12 after July 15
Just received this dfo fishery notice email...

all area 12 http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/maps-cartes/areas-secteurs/12-eng.html
Edit - looked back at the old map too - area north of cape caution is fine - that bubble was just status quo 2/day....so everything north of 12 is open

Free beer and a lollipop for the first person to plot this on a chart and post a pic. Google Earth tells me some of my spots will be okay. Combat time till July 14th.

Is there a gray area there you're saying? Is it the same for all the areas? Sorry haven't had a chance to read anything, still seeing red.

I beleive it’s open to 2 per day still if you stay within one mile of the shore. That’s how I read it without plugging in gps. Only on the west coast unfortunately

Sorry to give false hope to inside and South Island people. It does look like WCVI won't just be inside Barkley, Clayoquot, Nootka et cetera, but up to a mile off shore as well. I'd like to see a map is all.

I think "Individual species limits also apply." in the "Restrictions" section covers it as the FN released yesterday identifies the new limits on Chinook.

Man these changes are confusing. Have a Hali trip booked in June from Renfrew and trying to understand if there will be the opportunity to retain salmon. I got the email notice this morning which states:
Southern BC Recreational Fisheries:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WCVI Subareas 20-1, 20-2, Area 121, and Areas 123 to 127 seaward of a 1 nm
Boundary Line. The Boundary Line is defined below:
00:01 hours April 19 to 23:59 hours July 14, 2019: Chinook non-retention;
00:01 hours July 15 to 23:59 hours December 31, 2019: 2 Chinook per day
The Boundary Line is approximately 1nm seaward of the surfline and is defined
as follows:
They have listed the coordinates for the boundary line but what they have listed starts at Pacheda Point by Bamfield and then moves up the island.
If I am reading this regulation correctly, SO FAR, it appears that as long as you are inside the 1nm boundary within areas 20-1 and 20-2 Chinook is open. Tried to call and of course, their offices are closed until Tuesday.
