Fisheries and Oceans Canada has updated their notice on recreational chum fishing on the Alouette, placing a ban on fishing the salmon species completely.

According to the latest update, effective Oct. 26, people will not be allowed to fish for Chum salmon, until further notice at five waterways, Alouette river, Chehalis river, Chilliwack/Vedder river, Harrison river, Stave river, and at Nicomen Slough.

The fisheries department had earlier issued a non-retention order on the species due to the coast-wide low returns however, that notice has been further upgraded.
