I have been told that retention closure of chum salmon in Lower Fraser tributaries (Stave, Harrison, Chilliwack, Chehalis, Nicomen, etc) will begin tomorrow. A fishery notice should be available later today.

Chum salmon retention closure has been changed to fishing closure, which now includes targeting, catching and releasing them.

Coho is still open, but the intention to hook chum based apon targetting them as a species is now closed.
No more float fishing for chum in the Stave and else where.

No surprise after years of roe harvesting from commercial fishing.

So float fishing with peach wool for coho is okay?
If that is how you target coho then give-er, I find floating roe to be much more effective and a friend has killed it on those soft BnR beads for coho.
