Early Stuart Sockeye Window is from June 27th to July 22nd

After this window closure we will be planning Fraser River sockeye fisheries with other APM First Nations.  Low abundance of Early Summer and Late run sockeye with affect our ability to plan sockeye fisheries this year.  The majority of available sockeye will be from the Summer run sockeye.

Be ready for the 1st sockeye fishery opening, because it may be your only chance to fish for them.
