Size limit on chinook salmon introduced to help fish blocked at landslide
 80 centimetre size limit from July 15 to July 31 meant to allow more chinook salmon to get up Fraser River.

The federal government will implement a maximum size of chinook salmon to be caught by recreational fishers in an effort to help the thousands of fish blocked at a landslide in B.C.

Since late June, thousands of salmon have become blocked at a waterfall west of Clinton on the Fraser River, following a landslide. The waterfall is blocking the fish from travelling upstream to spawn.
 

The federal government estimates around 2,000 fish are arriving at the barrier everyday, with that number to increase in coming weeks. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) says only a small proportion are getting through the barrier.

On Friday afternoon, the agency announced a measure to try and help keep as many chinook salmon in the river as possible.

Marine recreational fisheries are set to open July 15 for chinook salmon. Fisheries and Oceans Canada is placing a size restriction of 80 centimetres on fish that can be caught until at least July 31.
