Are we allowed to fish the Fraser?
« on: August 21, 2016, 01:05:02 PM »

The reason I'm posting this is because I'm confused about allowable fishing on the Fraser.

I was at the Brownsville Park and I see 10 , yes 10 fishing rods in the water.

And a boat anchored off shore.

Weird , huh?

Why don't YOU read the regs and figure it out for yourself!

Since Hyrena clearly meant where can a person keep 2 Steelhead from the same river in the same day what is the answer? I would really like to know! I am fairly familiar with the regs but apparently I missed something. Or perhaps I have been reading the regs wrong all these years and you can keep 2 SH from the same river in the same day in all of region 1 and 2 as an earlier post could easily be interpreted.

Of course assuming all this depends on some posters not just being obtuse and are looking for a reason to be offended and attack others.

The OP's question was answered, yes you can fish the Fraser for a variety of species. It is up to each individual angler to decide if he or she wants to fish for the species that are open with the knowledge they have.

All rivers with hatchery steelhead that doesn't mention 1 steelhead a day or no steelhead retention, like stave or allouette rivers
