Is the slot limit going to be 75cm or 29.5 inches. Or about 15 pounds for those in the know. :D

Have fun with your single barbless hook, as the drift nets go sailing by. ::)

Does the slot limit mean anything over the 29.5 inches or whatever they decide to make it?  Or is it nothing bigger?

June 11 - 24 hour set net fishery (Fri 7pm - 7pm); 8 hour drift net (Sat 8am-4pm)
June 25 - 24 hour set net fishery (Fri 7pm - 7pm); 8 hour drift net (Sat 8am-4pm)
A fishing plan has not been set in the area below the Port Mann Bridge but it will likely be a similar amount of time.
Notification of these fisheries will be on our internet site as the licences are issued and will be posted at: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fraserriver/firstnations/firstnationsLF_e.htm

why do the sports fishery have a slot when other user groups dont have one,what does this do to conserve the older fish.sports have the lowest catch so this is futile.
