July 2022 Chinook Salmon Retention
Catch and release fishing has been excellent lately, but the retention opportunities have been limited. Here’s the lowdown on keeping Chinook salmon this summer in the Campbell River area.
July 15 – Aug 31
- One (1) Chinook salmon per person per day
- 62 cm minimum size
- 80 cm maximum size
Sept 1 – Dec 31
- Two (2) Chinook salmon per person per day
- 62 cm minimum size
- no maximum size limit
As previously reported, anglers are also permitted to keep two (2) Coho salmon, provided they’re hatchery marked, i.e., they have a clipped adipose fin.
The daily limit for all species of Pacific salmon is four (4), but individual salmon species limits also apply. The possession limit is twice the daily limit, so if you’re on a two day trip you can double up.
