 Fishery Notice - Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Subject: FN0858-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - Region 2 - Fraser River: Mission Bridge to Alexandra Bridge - Immediate Closure of all Salmon Fishing

Effective one hour after sunset on Friday, August 14, 2015 until further
notice, fishing for salmon is not permitted on the Fraser River in Region 2.

Region 2 waters are those waters between the downstream edge of the CPR bridge
at Mission, BC to the downstream side of the Alexandra Bridge.

Current run size estimates of Fraser River Summer Run sockeye salmon combined
with record water temperatures in the Fraser River have resulted in no
allowable harvest and a conservation concern.  The Department's priorities are
to ensure that there is sufficient sockeye returning to the spawning grounds. 
The Department will manage all fisheries to minimize sockeye impacts and
provide priority access to First Nations' fishing for food, social and
ceremonial purposes.

Recreational fishing opportunities for trout, steelhead and sturgeon and other
non-salmon species in this area remain open. 

Recreational fishing opportunities on the Fraser River for pink and chum salmon
are anticipated later in the season subject to available abundance.

Variation Order: 2015-395


Notes:

Anglers are advised to check http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/index-
eng.html for fishing closures and other recreational fishing information.

Did you witness suspicious fishing activity or a violation?  If so, please call
the Fisheries and Ocean Canada 24-hour toll free Observe, Record, Report line
at (800) 465-4336 or the British Columbia’s toll-free RAPP line (Report All

[Noahs Arc]

Wow.

[TheLostSockeye]

[jeetS]

What. A. Joke.

They seriously need to change the regulations

[Fish Assassin]

Recreational fishing opportunities for trout, steelhead and sturgeon and other
non-salmon species in this area remain open. 

Steelhead ??

[BIG T]

Steelhead ??

They consider is ocean trout

[fic]

If September 1st rolls around and the Fraser is still closed, I am guessing the Vedder will get rather busy

[Dr. Backlash]

Definitely sucks - but its for the better I guess. Its important to look at the bigger picture

[ynot]

test results for summer run sockeye are looking grim. from over 4 million down to just over 1 million.

[Nicolas The Fisherman]

If September 1st rolls around and the Fraser is still closed, I am guessing the Vedder will get rather busy

If the Fraser's still closed by then, the Vedder will be an absolute gong show. It would be nice if the DFO could restrict certain methods on the Vedder as well.. Make it no bottom bouncing, and no excessively long leaders. Of course they would need to have patrollers on the Vedder to catch the snaggers. I know it would be pretty hard to do, so I wouldn't count on it.

[Apennock]

Let's pray they open it by then, I don't even want to think about what the Vedder would turn into if it's the only pink fishery out here.

[Fish or cut bait.]

Let's hope instead of bitching about all this; some folks get up off their lazy ***es and kindly educate before throwing stones,  call RAPP (even if they think it does nothing).
So many folks here think they are the first ones to the dance.
There are many of us who have been here before (and some many more times than I)
Passion is a great thing it makes you feel for something other than yourself (though some arrogant bastards think it's all about them)

Oh. Ya!
VOTE!!!!
There's an election coming up that won't change things this year but the current government who shall remain nameless has either avoided environment issues or let them slide as they were not important enough:  DFO cuts,  Coast Guard cuts......
