OMG......
Two things had to happen...
1 enough fish.... 
2 FN say yes...
ITS THAT SIMPLE
This is just the beginning.  FN will be closing down access to many areas just because they can...

Do we know if the fish have reached up to the Vedder or Stave yet?

Herein lies the problem. Typewriters were all manual; IIRC there were never electric.

This is the most offensive comment I've read so far on this thread ::)

On Tuesday I spent a few hours scouting the lower river to see what has changed…every run I visited is different from last year…did not hook or spot a salmon anywhere…hopefully soon…

the entire run went through an hour before you got there. they are in a real hurry this year.

https://notices.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fns-sap/index-eng.cfm?pg=view_notice&DOC_ID=288821&ID=all

Waters: Chilliwack/Vedder River (including Sumas River)from a line between two fishing boundary signs on either side of the Chilliwack River 100 m from the confluence of the Chilliwack River and Slesse Creek downstream including that portion of the Sumas River from the Barrow Town Pump Station downstream to fishing boundary signs near the confluence with the Fraser River, with exception of "no fishing for salmon" closure area currently in place.

Waters: Harrison River (from the Hwy 7 bridge downstream to the confluence with the Fraser River).

Waters: Stave River (downstream of BC Hydro Dam to the CPR Railway bridge).

Effective September 1 until September 30, 2023:
- The daily limit for Pink salmon is two (2).


normally it is 4 per day, particularly with this size of run. The secretary probably pulled a copy of the wrong fishery notice and the RD signed it off without reading it!

This is better for the fish. Nobody knows the exact impact of those 2021 Vedder floods until more fish come into the river.  With El Nino probably bringing in more predators from the southern ocean, we need all the extra fish to preserve 2025 pink run.

The rumor that people failed math is obviously true.

to fake the hook set in the mouth more convincingly I like push the hook point well in so most of the bend can't be seen.
