Fishery Notice

The current adopted run size of 4.5 million Fraser pinks was reduced to 3.7 
million at the Fraser Panel meeting on Friday Sept. 8, 2017. This decrease in 
run size has eliminated any TAC (Total allowable catch) for directed 
recreational or commercial pink fisheries.

Effective one hour after sunset (20:23 hours) on Tuesday September 12, 2017 
until further notice, you may not retain pink salmon in Region 3. This includes 
Kamloops Lake and the South Thompson River.
