Could that have been a one off discussion with a specific individual? Presumably that's not the interpretation you'd get if you asked now, but obviously that's never been a thing. The closest would be the Squamish where you are only allowed 1 coho from the entire watershed (Squam, Mamq, Cheak etc) but that just shows its the exception and not the rule... It was. I called a DFO office and they had an FO call me back. I left it at that. So has anyone been fishing on the Lower Fraser since it's been open 3 days? I have been wondering about water clarity. I went over at Mission and Alex Fraser a few days ago and the river looked brown. |

I had a phone discussion with an FO on these lines many years ago - the 1st year the daily limit was reduced from 4 to 2 for no apparent reason. Since the limit of salmon was 4 while the limit on pinks per stream was 2 was it possible to combine limits from 2 streams and keep 4? Absolutely not! I was told the limit for pinks in non-tidal water was 2 no if ands or buts. Could that have been a one off discussion with a specific individual? Presumably that's not the interpretation you'd get if you asked now, but obviously that's never been a thing. The closest would be the Squamish where you are only allowed 1 coho from the entire watershed (Squam, Mamq, Cheak etc) but that just shows its the exception and not the rule... |

And while we are on this topic, something I discovered last night was kind of troubling and amusing lol. In regards to this I did message a dfo officer and they got back to me that limits and possession quotas are still in effect 4/8 |

from previous discussions with the province, the retention of hatchery trout while fishing streams in region 2 now is to remove residualized steelhead smolts or so I was told. Yes and that's why I specifically mentioned the Chilliwack River that has specific regs for retention of hatchery trout on that water. The only other stream with a similar specific reg is the Coquitlam which has received no stockings of trout or steelhead for at least 20 years. FWIW checking GofishBC triploid female rainbows were stocked from about '95 to 2001. Those fish would all be caught or died naturally long ago. Why is that reg still there? Personally I have rarely encountered so called 'residualized' steelhead smolts on streams that receive such stocks other than the Chilliwack. For streams like the Harrison, Stave and the Alouette I could count the total on the fingers of one hand in 20+ years of fishing. It's a silly reg that encourages poaching of wild cutthroat. All that is needed is exceptions for specific streams where there is an issue with holdover hatchery steelhead smolts. |
