If specific regulations are not listed under the stream or lake, then only the regional and provincial generic regulations apply to the system.

As Geff has pointed out, the daily quote of hatchery steelhead is two for the Stave River as it is the regional daily quota.

More important, some streams have no retention of hatchery steelhead, such as the Squamish and Capilano River.

You need  a steelhead tag whether you plan to retain the steelhead or not.

Is this different than salmon? I thought you didn't need a tag unless you plan to retain.

Were you fishing up by the toilet bowl? My six year old boy has been asking for weeks for me to take him fishing but I would like to get him some action. It does not really matter what kind of fish he catches he would be happy with a bullhead.

Get that boy out fishing pronto !!!  ;D  Trust me I know its hard with the holidays and work and all but the day my boy asks to go fishing I'm dropping anything.  Worms at the stave should get you something.  ;)

I did take him out today. Did not catch anything but we had fun. Hopefully he will enjoy it as much as me and he will be my little fishing partner for many years. ;D

I'm sure I'm asking what already know but fishing for steelhead on these closed salmon waters won't be any problem right? It's only closed to salmon fishing as it states?

thanks for all the feedback

Don't fish for steelhead in the spawning channel.

I was just curious because Im not familiar with the river. Not sure if it's a man made channel or a section of the river. been trying to find maps of the area online with no such luck
