The whole canyon is open all week and there has been major openings in the lower Fraser for drift and set nets. There will be thousands of Chinook killed this week.

today is the last day of published openings above Sawmill Creek. More may be published tomorrow.

most of those openings are either hook and line and/or dip net fisheries only.
