Trout Fishing On The Fraser River Closure Lifted.
« on: May 25, 2025, 03:54:45 PM »

A message from Fraser Valley Salmon Society President Dean and thanks to you Dean and other board members who continue working so hard for the recreational anglers now and for the last 40 plus years.

"I received an email after a long long battle both with the Prov and FOC ever since the Trout Closure was placed on the Fraser River a number of years ago (I think it was 6 years ago).
I have been beating my head against the Prov and FOC to get this lifted due to NO scientific evidence to show we should not be fishing Trout on the Fraser River....this has been my pet peeve and I was on a mission to have this dropped.....

I represent GOABC at PAAT and of course I am the chair of the UFV-SFAC, Pres of FVSS and sit on many boards of the SFAB process....this has been draining and my GOAL was to get us all a chance to fish the Fraser again to provide the community with the economic stimulus and to enjoy this socially valuable fishery.
We all want to enjoy this amazing area and river, it’s where families come together and have for decades. Fishing is important to our mental health and the Province wants to see opportunity for angling.

Wow. It's been years since there has been even a speck of positive news for the sporties on the Fraser.
I bet the First Nations are just seething right about now.

This is the closure that was from Sept 1 to Nov 15th and was meant to be in conjunction with the IFS rolling closure?
