http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/xnet/content/fns/index.cfm?pg=view_notice&lang=en&DOC_ID=102394&ID=recreationalEffective July 23, 2007 until further notice, the daily limit for pink salmon is
two per day in Subareas 28-3 to 28-5 and that portion of Subarea 28-2 that lies northerly of a line from Halkett Point on Gambier Island 62° true to a boundary sign north of Alberta Bay.
The number of pink salmon returning to the Squamish system may be low for the next few years due to impacts from the August 5, 2005 caustic soda chemical spill. This action will be re-evaluated in-season when pink salmon begin returning to the area.
Variation Order # 2007-284
Notes:
The aggregate daily limit for all species of Pacific Salmon (other than kokanee) from tidal and non-tidal waters combined is four (4).
Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal waters of British Columbia. This includes all species of fish in the Fraser River.
Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the voluntary Salmon Sport Head Recovery program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped chinook and coho salmon.
