FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA
NOTICE TO ANGLERS
na.17.007
26 May 2017
Angling closed adjacent to Garnish River Counting Fence
DFO wishes to advise anglers that fishing is closed 23 metres above and below the counting fence on Garnish River. Fishways and counting fences on some rivers may delay upstream migration, particularly when water levels are low, and result in schooling of fish below the facility prior to their movement up-river. The fishing closure within the vicinity of the counting fence will increase successful upstream migration of salmon and minimize unnecessary stress due to angling.
