Oyster River, Black Creek, Little River, Puntledge River, Trent River, Tsable River, Qualicum River, Little Qualicum River, Rosewall Creek, Nile Creek, French Creek, Englishman River (Region 1).

Good on them for taking these restrictions.  Desperate times call for desperate measures as they say.  It’s certainly a pain and it sucks not to be able to enjoy going out fishing but anybody who thinks otherwise has to take into mind that this is being done for the good of the fish so you can enjoy the rewards 3 or 4 years from now.
