Effective 00:01 hours August 1, 2013 until further notice, during daylight

Basin), you may retain two (2) sockeye per day.
A review of in season information on sockeye abundance and environmental
conditions in Osoyoos Lake will be conducted on August 12, 2013 or sooner to
determine duration of the fishery.
