Today's announcement means no fishing below the Vedder, in the Fraser.  That means more will be able to make it up to the higher bars!!!

Effective 00:01 Mon August 16, the retention of sockeye is prohibited in the
following waters:

- Area 28

- Area 29 - including the tidal waters of the Fraser River (downstream of the
CPR Bridge at Mission).

- Region 2 - Non-tidal waters of the Fraser River downstream of the confluence
of the Sumas/Vedder River to the CPR Bridge at Mission. The Sumas/Vedder
Boundary is defined by the boundary sign on the upstream point of the
Sumas/Vedder confluence on the south side of the river, then across the river
and upstream on an angle (NE) to the boundary sign by the big barn on Nicomen
Island on the north side of the river.

Variation Order Nos. 2004-399, 2004-400.

This action is taken to ensure Late run sockeye and Cultus Lake sockeye
management objectives are achieved.

These waters remain open to chinook retention. See the tidal waters sport
fishing guide and FN0241 for details.
