Effective February 20, 2006 at 00:01 hours:

Retention of chinook is not permitted on the Chilliwack River downstream from
Slesse Creek, including that portion of the Sumas River from the Barrow Town
Pump Station downstream to boundary signs near the confluence with the Fraser
River.

This action is intended to protect early returning wild Chilliwack Chinook. 
The chinook fishery will re-open as scheduled on July 1, 2006.
