Effective 00:01 October 15 to 23:59 December 31, you may retain:

- two (2) hatchery Coho per day (No retention of wild Coho);
- four (4) Chinook per day, only one of which may be greater than 50 cm;

These opportunities are being provided on hatchery Coho only and do not pose a
threat to upper Fraser and Thompson River Coho stocks as they have already
migrated through the lower Fraser River.

Fishing for salmon in the non-tidal waters of the Fraser River is allowed
during daylight hours only, from one hour before sunrise to one hour after
sunset.  Please check your local paper for sunrise and sunset times.

Anglers are reminded that a hatchery Coho means a Coho salmon that has a healed
scar in place of the adipose fin.

Variation Order No. 2004-474

This reflects a change to the BC Freshwater Salmon Supplement.  The online
version of this guide will be updated within 24 hours of this notice, please

Is the DFO trying to rebuild the even pink run?  If so you'd think they'd limit the harvesting of them.  As well, I've seen some pinks in another river system last weekend while fishing for cohos and they are just about done, all moldy, scarred and spawned out.

How is fishing on the Fraser this time of the year? I never tried before. Always too busy chasing the Ho's on the Vedder.
4 Pinks? Are we permitted to retain fish  ??? that doesn't exist? Thanks DFO. :-\
