Just saw a new change for vedder river today in the regs .
Looks like a closure around the crossing … there was a different closure before in low water to protect the sockeye but under this wording it appears to be closed all season .

2-4 No wild trout over 50 cm, 1 bull trout over 60 cm
No Fishing from the orange triangular boundary signs approximately 200m above the Vedder Crossing bridge down to the cable car crossing approximately 200m downstream of the Vedder Crossing Bridge.
No Fishing upstream from a line between two fishing boundary signs on either side of the Chilliwack River 100 m downstream of the confluence of the Chilliwack River and Slesse Creek

I just talked to the province. It's an error, they are fixing it.

[RalphH]

they are going to allow harvest of Bull trout over 24 inches in the Chilliwack River?

Still waiting on a jet boat ban above the canal section

(I know, it wouldn't appear in the fishing regs but it's long-overdue!)

No, that's for Chilliwack Lake.

[RalphH]

looks like a cut and paste error from the Synopsis pdf.

The closure either side of the Crossing is still in place as it was when put in because of people snagging sockeye there last summer.
