Heading there quite soon, wondering if there is any targeting of salmon from land there going on presently?

From what I can tell from the regs, you can currently fish for Salmon in the Nanaimo River as long as its only catch and release. I could be wrong though and am interested in this myself.

I believe it has to say No Fishing for Salmon or No fishing for Coho otherwise you can fish but not retain.

Intended to shore fish salmon, wound up boat fishing trout at Fuller. Nothing killed but some pleasant hours...
