FN0800-Recreational: Salmon: Region 2 - Interior Fraser Coho Management Measures
A reminder, and as announced in the 2011-13 Freshwater Salmon Supplement, the following measures will be implemented to protect Interior Fraser River Coho and to provide selective opportunities for Chinook and Chum Salmon. Information on sockeye opportunities are announced in separate fishery notices. During this critical migration time for Interior Fraser coho, the recreational community is requested to fish selectively when fishing for Chinook and Chum. The first principle of selective harvest is to avoid catching non- targeted stocks. This means that anglers are requested to use angling methods that do not catch coho.
