Title: Can we Retain Chinook and/or Hatchery Coho in Tidal Fraser?
Post by: Dr. Backlash on August 14, 2011, 10:50:13 AM

Planning on heading down to the river this afternoon to try my luck at Pinks (maybe a sockeye if I'm lucky) as it looks like its a pretty big incoming tide today, and I'm not sure if we're allowed to retain a Chinook or a Hatchery Coho right now in the Tidal Fraser.  The regs are a little "grey" right now as they don't specifically say no fishing for Chinook or Hatchery Coho in the Tidal Fraser - at least I can't see where it says this.  Could someone (Rodney) please clarify if we can reatain Hatchery Coho or Springs (I'm guessing over 62cm) right now on the Tidal Fraser?

Thanks!

No current hatchery coho salmon retention.
