Title: Non-tidal Fraser Steelhead Regulation
Post by: rahmanjoy on September 11, 2010, 11:13:31 PM
Hi,
While fishing for Sockeye near Hope, I have encountered one Steelhead. It was a wild one.
I have released it very carefully without even taking a photo.

I just wondering what is the Steelhead quota on Non-tidal Fraser?

Thanks.

Thank you Rodney.
What is little confusing for me in the reg. -

Trout/char: 4, but not more than
• 1 over 50 cm
(2 hatchery steelhead allowed)

So, is it allowed Two Steelhead in Non-Tidal Fraser?

- All wild steelhead

Two hatchery steelhead per day.

Extremely unlikely to get a hatchery steelhead in the Fraser above Chilliwack

To continue in the Steelhead questioning vein....

Are steelies now considered Salmon and part of the aggregate 4 salmon?
