@@petrhermanadventures9509 your video shed some lights on a lot and confusing regulations we have here in BC. BTW, finally caught my first chum salmon yesterday at the Vedder... 😀
Thanks for the info pertinent to my area - extremely helpful! and yes, regs are inherently dense subject matter. This local expert is incredible - he quietly teaches members of his local community to become responsible and ethical fisherpeople (personally), shares his tips and tricks / offers his advice quietly on more productive fishing methods, cleans up our rivers and stays calm - even in the face of barbed hooks and garbage which makes me want to get...well, you know. In case you are wondering - yes he can fish! Just witnessed him catching his daily limit while I was washing my line....Thanks Petr!
You're welcome, I think I'll do another one at the start of the salmon season, could use an updating. I got a $50 gift card to Pacific Angler, so I really should drop by the store one day soon.
Thanks for the information! This is great as I’m just learning how to fish salmon right now on the vedder. It can be quite intimidating to learn all this stuff while fishing a very busy trib.
How does catch/possession limits pertain to families? If you have 5 and your wife hypothetically, are you allowed to catch up to 28 salmon per day, and possess up to 56 when camping, accounting for each of the licenses within your family? Thanks, this is a question which could really use clarifying and is hard to find the answer to.
There is no such thing as a group limit, only individual limits. The person who did the majority of the work in landing the fish is the one whose limit it falls under. In other words if you want your kids to take home fish, they have to actually catch the fish. You are allowed to hook the fish and then pass the rod to someone else and have them fight and land the fish. That becomes their fish and part of their limit.
I like having local fishing stores. I was sad when Wholesale sports and Army and Navy closed in Langley. Good news is the new store in the Army and Navy location has a good size well stocked fishing department. Check it out.
Shout-out to my local tackle store, Sea-Run! Always worth spending a few extra bucks to support your local store (which then provides jobs in your area and pays taxes that support the infrastructure in your city).
@@ericeemberson546 - Also: regs can change year to year, even on the same river. Be sure to check for updates regularly even if you're fishing the same body of water every time.
This video is so educational. I would love to fish salmon in BC but as I read the regulations, its too confusing and i was about to give up. Do you offer a fishing guide around the area?
Yes, it is a valid and effective fishing method. Try not to do it through the schools of fish though, jig just above the fish to reduce chances of foul hooking. I probably find more jiggs underwater than any other type of lure, so be prepared to lose some.
Thank you for this video, very helpful. Question for Coquitlam river, it says Chinook Non retention, so I can not keep any adult chinook, Can i keep jack? Any size regulation for Chinook jack?
Hi, thank you for this very educational video about salmon fishing in BC. Is there any restriction on the lure? I've tried to look up, but not able to find a definite answer. So only single barbless hook can be used for salmon fishing in BC? Which website can I find this restriction? Also can I use lure with 3-hooks at all for freshwater fishing in BC (like those in this video: ruclips.net/video/o7dFCj20HCg/видео.html)? Thank you
Treble hooks and barbed hooks are allowed in most lakes in B.C, but not allowed in any stream, river, or slough. So single barbless hook is not just for salmon, it's also for all rivers. There are a few lakes that are listed single barbless hook too, so it's best to look up the lake you're visiting in the regulations.
I hear you, even on this video the average view length is about 6 minutes. But to explain everything I wanted to would take closer to 45 minutes. I suppose I could talk faster, but everyone had their pace. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Petr, just came across your video by accident and decided to sit back and see what you have to say. I’ve fished for over 60 years in Canada and BC. I live just above the Vedder river and fish it as much as possible when it’s not too busy. I really appreciated you taking the time, in your own relaxed way, to inform fishers about our regulations. You did a great job, and for as much as regulations here can be a bit confusing, you cleared up several controversial issues. As I’m down on the river almost every day, and understandably not always fishing, I see a lot a debris left from fishers. It was great to hear your advice about picking up all discarded material “ even short sections of fishing line.” Thanks again Petr.
Thanks for this!
I'll be re-doing this video soon. Nothing much has changed, but I've gotten better at speaking on camera.
Thank you for this video! Very much appreciated.
I'm glad you found it useful. It's about time I updated it, the regulations haven't changed, but I've gotten better at filming.

Vedder is so beautiful!! Just watching you siting by the river with this beautiful sunset is so relaxing. Thanks for sharing my friend

Thank you for your kind words. Just for the record, that's the first time this year I limited out.

I hear good things about Sea-Run, never made it there though.
i completely agree!
Great info. Just to confirm. I can keep 2 Adult and 2 Jack Chinook?
On the Vedder/Chilliwack river yes, but other rivers have different limits and you need to look them up.
@@petrhermanadventures9509 Thx.

I'm glad you found it useful. I am not a guide, but there are many good guides around. A quick google search is all you need.
Is jigging allowed in vedder river
Yes, it is a valid and effective fishing method. Try not to do it through the schools of fish though, jig just above the fish to reduce chances of foul hooking. I probably find more jiggs underwater than any other type of lure, so be prepared to lose some.

Coquitlam river you're only allowed to keep one hatchery clipped Coho per day. All other salmon must be released unharmed.

Love the video! more people need to understand these regulations!
Exactly!
Good one Petr!! my 2 cents: to keep the audience attention intact make it in 4-5mins videos only -- and you will have more views 👍
I hear you, even on this video the average view length is about 6 minutes. But to explain everything I wanted to would take closer to 45 minutes. I suppose I could talk faster, but everyone had their pace. Thanks for the feedback.

i disagree - what can you say in 4 minutes. - not much. the lenght of the video was good.
More confused now... i will just eat cows
