portions of Area 29: Subareas 29-2 to 29-5, 29-8 and 29-6, 29-7, 29-9, and 29-

The current run size estimates of Fraser River pink salmon have resulted in no 
Commercial Total Allowable Catch (TAC) available at this time.  As a result, 
additional management actions are being implemented to protect migrating Fraser 
pink salmon stocks.  

Variation order 2017-466


Notes:
Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal waters of British 
Columbia.  

The term "marked" means a hatchery fish that has a healed scar in place of the 
adipose fin.

Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the Salmon Sport Head Recovery 
program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped chinook and 
coho salmon.  Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical information for 
coast-wide stock assessment.  Contact the Salmon Sport Head Recovery Program 
toll free at (866) 483-9994 for further information.

Anglers are advised to check
