Fishery Notice

South coast Chum returns to date have been very poor this season and 
observational information within the Squamish watershed indicates that the 
return of Chum salmon returns to the system is also low and cannot support a 
retention fishery at this time.  

Waters:  Squamish River

Management measures:

Effective November 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019:
- You may not retain Chum salmon.


Variation Order numbers: 2019-RFQ-589


Notes:

Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in non-tidal waters of 
British Columbia.

adipose fin.

and other recreational fishing information.
