Title: Bait Ban on Fraser?
Post by: Dr. Backlash on September 10, 2010, 01:59:46 PM

HI, I just came across this notice on another website: http://www.fishchilliwack.com/default.aspx?PAGE_ID=78   and it says that there is a bait ban for salmon on the non-tidal fraser (above Mission bridge) effective yesterday (September 9th) until October 12th.  Is this true? - is there a bait ban on the non-tidal porton of the Fraser?  And is there also a bait ban for salmon on the TIDAL portion of the Fraser (below the Mission bridge)? or does the bait ban only apply to the non-tidal portion of the Fraser?

Thanks in advance!

Bait ban is currently in effect in both tidal and non-tidal portions of the Fraser River.

Rod, does this bait ban include using bait for Sturgeon?

thanks for the reply Rod...so, does the bait ban include not being allowed to use a piece of herring/anchovy on the belly of a Kwikfish while trolling for Chinook (and specifically targetting Chinook)?  And do scents qualify as bait as well?

in the US, it is illegal to add petroleum products like WD-40 or to water.  This includes dipping/spraying on baits.  It has nothing to do with the scent.

come to think of it, i actually have no source :-\ when i was growing up as a kid my grandfather always taught me that it was illegal to us it, and ive never really tried looking to see if it was illegal or not cause i believe my grandfather and im not gonna question him.

Sorry i shouldnt have posted that earlier post without showing facts, when i dont even have proof  :-[

you've never been allowed to use a peice of herring/anchovy in the Fraser for Salmon fishing.

the current bait ban hapends every year at this time.
