The areas 20-1, 20-2, and 121 are all closed. If you look at the maps these areas start at the shoreline and go way out to the US border. The first areas open are inside waters up near Bamfield (Pachena).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.
Nice work. I'll have beer and lolipops in my truck all summer. Ukee and/or Tofino x 4 or 5 trips.
