    Fishery Notice
    Category(s): RECREATIONAL - Salmon
    Subject: FN0704-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - Region 6 - Skeena River Watershed - Closure Effective July 27, 2019

    Effective at 00:00:01 hours July 27, 2019 until further notice - The Skeena
    River watershed is closed to fishing for all salmon.

    Skeena Sockeye returns continue to be below the identified conservation level
    of 400,000 as described in the Northern BC Salmon IFMP, and the Department has
    undertaken extensive consultations with First Nations and stakeholders
    indicating that measures will need to be taken to address Sockeye conservation.
    This closure is a part of the identified conservation measures.

    Variation Oder #: 2019-RCT-408


    Notes:

    Possession limits are two times the daily limits.

    Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal waters and rivers
    of British Columbia.

    The term "marked" means a hatchery fish that has a healed scar in place of the
    adipose fin.

    Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the Salmon Sport Head Recovery
    program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped chinook and
    coho salmon. Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical information for
    coast-wide stock assessment. Contact the Salmon Sport Head Recovery Program
    toll free at (866) 483-9994 for further information.

    Anglers are advised to check http://bcsportfishguide.ca for fishing closures
    and other recreational fishing information.

    Skeena First Nations call for closure of recreational Chinook fishery

    First Nations along the Skeena Watershed are calling on the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to close the recreational Chinook salmon fishery.

    The Gitxsan, the Wet’suwet’en, and Gitanyow, who rely on salmon for food and cultural purposes, are sounding the alarm about this year’s salmon returns to the Skeena River

    The Nations say they are considering not engaging in any food fishery for Sockeye over concerns that returns of the prized species are not plentiful enough to maintain it in future years.

    “We encourage all First Nations to conserve sockeye this year. Conservation of the salmon resource, which has sustained our culture, communities, and families for millennia is paramount. DFO needs to enforce closures. The sockeye shortage this year will result in First Nations families running short of their preferred food this winter, and any time we can’t fish or get enough fish there is a significant cultural impact.” said Wet’suwet’en Chief Namoks (John Ridsdale) in a news release.

    Due to the sockeye shortage, the Nations plan to harvest as much Chinook as possible and say all fish beyond what is required for conservation should be available to their communities for food.

    “We need DFO to understand the plain facts and act in accordance with Canadian law which gives First Nations a priority right to salmon after conservation needs are met. The numbers show that there is no surplus of Skeena Chinook for any non-First Nations harvest. The recreational fishery for Chinook in the Skeena River and bound for the Skeena River has to be closed now to preserve that valuable food for our people,” said Charlie Muldon, Coordinator of the Gitksan Watershed Authorities.
