Fishery Notice

Water levels in many systems in the Thompson and Shuswap are extremely low and 
temperatures in many cases are reaching lethal limits for migrating salmon. 
Predictions are that above average summer air temperatures and reduced 
precipitation will continue, and likely will further contribute to elevated 
stream temperatures throughout Region 3 and 8 in the Thompson and Okanagan areas

Effective immediately, all waters in Region 3 and Region 8 are closed to 
fishing for all salmon species until further notice. 


Variation Orders: 2015-358 and 2015-359.


Notes:

The Department will continue to monitor environmental conditions to help inform 
future fisheries management decisions and fishing opportunities; updated 
information will be announced by fishery notice.
