In 2014/2015 Vancouver Island experienced extremely low snowpack with
exceptionally low precipitation during the spring 2015 period. Water levels in
many systems on Vancouver Island are now extremely low and river temperatures
in many cases are reaching lethal limits for salmon migrating through these
systems. Predictions are that above average summer air temperatures and reduced
precipitation will continue, and likely will further contribute to elevated
stream temperatures throughout Region 1 on Vancouver Island.

Effective 00:01 hours August 1, 2015 until further notice the following
Vancouver Island Rivers will close to salmon angling:

All river systems in management units 1-7 to 1-13.

All rivers on Vancouver Island in Region 1 are now closed until further notice
with the exception of the Campbell/Quinsam Rivers and the Qualicum River.

angling closures visit:
