Heard from a reliable source today that chinooks will open July 16. Should be confirmed shortly. I hope it comes with the suggestion to fish selectively as Stuart River sockeye will soon be in the system.

[kingpin]

slot limit?

Yes

slot limit?

There has been in the past but we will have to wait for the offical notice from FOC to confirm the opening date and all the details involved.

So basically just jacks or very small adult Chinooks?

[ShaunO]

77cm is 30 inches and I have landed some hefty 30 inch chinooks!

No size limit in the tidal portion?

[TNAngler]

Doesn't give one so apparently no.

I know things might fluctuate but it looks like the year is starting off much better than the last couple at least.  Last year at this time, the test fisheries had caught 15 Chinook.  They are at 56.  Last year the First Nations had caught 4 Chinook by the week of June 4th.  This year, 912 by the week of June 1st.

I fished the Lillooet 3 weeks ago for bulls and the chinooks were jumping around like I've never seen them before.

You're allowed to keep all Chinook over 70 inches in length (178 cm).

You're allowed to keep all Chinook over 70 inches in length (178 cm).

70"=5.83'
Lol, good luck catching Chinook size of an grown up man. I believe there is $ 100k reward for catching 100 lb Chinook so with this size of a fish there will be no questions asked.

No size limit in the tidal portion?

That mistake has been corrected after being brought up to the manager last week. The same slot size limit also applies to the tidal portion of the Fraser River from July 16th to 27th. Look for a fishery notice soon which states that correction.
