Working with harvesters, we are confident we have found creative and flexible ways to have small, targeted fisheries that will protect endangered Fraser River Chinook while providing opportunities to fish for healthier stocks.The department is building on last year’s measures to protect Fraser Chinook. Sport Fishing Guide; Date modified: 2020-06-04 Questions should be directed to 518-402-8843.Little Sandy Creek (Oswego County): Fishing is prohibited from March 16 through the first Saturday in May from the State Route 3 bridge downstream 850 feet to the intersection of the channelized area and upstream 1.0 miles from the bridge to the Public Fishing Rights section.Tackle is restricted to a traditional fly rod, fly reel, fly line, and artificial fly. These effects are increasing sedimentation and landslides in BC, and resulting in less productive salmon habitat in freshwater for some areas and populations. Working with harvesters, we are confident we have found creative and flexible ways to have small, targeted fisheries that will protect endangered Fraser River Chinook while providing opportunities to fish for healthier stocks.DFO will also continue to assess fish passage at the Big Bar landslide and consider these circumstances in making fisheries management decisions as the season progresses.Fraser River Chinook salmon have been in decline for many years as a result of a number of factors including habitat destruction, harvest, and the effects of climate change. ). BC air temperatures are also warming, and snow packs by May have been anomalously low in recent years. Consequently, Fraser River temperatures are warming, and in summer months have been increasingly exceeding upper thermal tolerances for salmon. This included water temperatures 3-5 degrees Celsius above average extending down to 100 m depths. An unprecedented marine heatwave was present from late-2013 to 2019. Northeast Pacific Ocean temperatures are also warming. Other climate-related changes include more droughts, and extreme precipitation that are occurring more frequently in recent years.Changes in climate are synergizing with habitat changes in the Fraser watershed, particularly deforestation from human activities like logging, agriculture and development, and two back-to-back years of record forest fires in BC in 2017 and 2018.

The department will implement measures similar to 2019 with additional restrictions to strengthen conservation and some flexibility for additional fisheries for all harvesters in areas where impacts to stocks of concern will be very low.
It is recommended that anglers read the guide to become familiar with the regulations prior to fishing. One key example is the shift from usually predominant northern zooplankton species with high fat content, to a greater proportion of southern zooplankton species, with lower fat content, considered poorer quality food for salmon.Today, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is releasing the 2020 fishing plans for Fraser River Chinook.
