Not likely. DFO usually gives couple of days notice.

nothing listed on DFO rec site yet
but i do expect it to be closed when the next major push comes through
also the cultus lake sockeye will be in soon
so look for designated area closings

I don't think they'll close it before Sunday midnight.  They've never shut it down unannounced before (that I can remember).  Let's hope they don't start something new. ::)

Didn't get any notices. The next expected Fraser River Panel will be on Friday, August 13th.  An update should be available in the afternoon. I believe that is when they will be making decisions on openings and closures for the late summer runs.

Much like the Hell's Angels cooperating with the RCMP in curbing illegal grow ops. Not going to happen
