Retention of chinook salmon will open for sportfishermen in the tidal and non-tidal portion of the Fraser River on June 16th. For more information on the opening and the daily quota, please read this fishery notice provided by DFO.

For anglers who wish to participate in this fishery, please also read this poster regarding rewards provided for those who return the radio tag found in some fish. Please note that the retrieval of the radio tag only applies to the fish that you intend to keep, so while some tags are found in sockeye salmon, you are required to release the fish and leave the tag alone because there are currently no sockeye salmon retention opening expected.
