Dear Shearwater Guests:

Fisheries and Oceans Canada released the 2019 Fisheries Plan in April, announcing significant regulatory changes for Chinook salmon fishing in Southern British Columbia. This regulatory change does NOT affect our location in the northern region and Chinook retention will continue at existing catch rates of 2 per day and 4 in possession. There will also be no commercial fishing in our area until after August 20th.

If you have any questions please reach out to one of our fishing specialists at fish@sheawater.ca.  They will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.
