Fishery Notice

Effective immediately until further notice, you may not retain chinook salmon 
on the Harrison River in Region 2.

The 2016 forecast estimate of terminal abundance to the Harrison River is 
33,000 chinook.  This value is well below the escapement goal for this stock 
which is a range of 75,100 to 98,500 spawners.  Harrison River chinook are one 
of the few stocks that have an escapement goal under the Pacific Salmon Treaty.

Variation Order Number: 2016-424
