Kitsumkalum requests cooperation from sports fishermen for short term voluntary closure to a small portion of the Skeena River.
Sport fishers can be back on those sections of the river on days when we are not there (i.e. Thursday to Saturday).
This is important that Chinook are not removed from this small area by anglers fishing early or late in the day on Kitsumkalum fishing days. The Kitsumkalum community needs to have access to these fish to provide food for their community members given the lack of any Kitsumkalum food, social and ceremonial fisheries for sockeye so far in 2017.
We thank everyone for respecting our request for this voluntary short term closure.
