Aug 22nd-Deep Inlet THA Closure

The Deep Inlet THA will close to common property fishing beginning on Sunday August 25th to facilitate fall chum brood stock collection and completion of remaining cost recovery. Cost recovery efforts this morning resulted in a harvest of less than 100k lbs., clearly indicating there is insufficient numbers of fish in the the Deep Inlet THA and the Eastern Channel/Silver Bay SHA to make meaningful progress towards our remaining cost recovery goal and allow continued common property opportunity. Additionally, we are closely monitoring chum brood stock numbers at Bear Cove and require the recruitment of an additional 60k fish to meet our brood stock goal of 100k fall chum.

Deep Inlet will remain closed until cost recovery is complete and brood stock needs are secured. Deep Inlet cost recovery progress will be updated daily on our home page.
