So to confirm, the Skagit is closed?

Area 2-1 remains open (east of the Skagit), but area 2-2 is the Skagit and is now closed?

Bummer, but completely understandable. Hopefully people really respect these closures.

Wow! A Skagit River closure is afaik unprecedented, but well called, imo. Time to take a few Chilliwack/Vedder River water temperatures ... will report the numbers tomorrow.

funny that the vedder is open with its cultas lake sockeye.

And you can't say it's a hatchery thing because they shut the chehalius and stamp river down.

I don't ever recall so many rivers closed to fishing due to a prolonged drought.

Many of the Fraser tribs are now closed and also hatchery rivers. Its needed but it still sucks as many of us fish those smaller systems to avoid the gong show. Guess I should dust off those golf clubs

Don't even fish in the open rivers if you care about the fishery at all.

I agree but we all know people in general are greedy and have a sense of entitlement

I'm seeing that on other boards I've posted this sentiment on.

 I doubt any cultus fish have even arrived yet , always seemed to be an August September thing

At 0800 this morning I measured 16° C, just down from Lickman Road, so for now water temperatures are a non issue.  The first Cultus sockeye typically arrive the first week of August but could possibly be holding in the Vedder during late July.

Wow Capilano Closed too above the highway 1?!  So Cable Pool is to be closed as well.  It'll be pretty easy to catch violators there.

Hey Dave, not sure if you're aware but Chilliwack water temperatures are recorded at the WSC station at the Crossing. I've pasted the last week's recording here. Your reading of this morning appears to align closely with the station's reading.

Thanks Mike, I didn't know that!  Wow, that's quite the diurnal fluctuation ...  so late afternoon temperatures are indeed serious.
