Timing
When you may fish, as opposed to what you may keep. Sun times are for this water, today.
Time-of-day rule. “You can only fish for salmon in Region 2 during daylight hours.” (DFO Region 2, preamble) DFO defines daylight hours as “The hours that start one hour before sunrise and end one hour after sunset. Sunrise and sunset refer to the times for those events calculated by the National Research Council of Canada.” (DFO recreational fishing definitions)
A fishery notice outranks the regulation table when the two disagree.
No fishery notice has named this water in 2026. The feeds are watched on the same schedule as the regulation tables.

Almanac
A day back and two ahead on one clock. Pressure and river level are observed and stop at Now; future rain is ECCC's HRDPS weather model, and the moon is astronomy. Not a fishability call.
A timeline of moon phase, observed rain, observed barometric pressure and the river gauge level across a day back and two ahead. Tide turns, river levels and pressure trend are also given in text on the water pages and map callouts.
Licence
What you need on this water
BC freshwater licence (Region 2) + conservation surcharge stamp to retain salmon. Check the Region 2 table for gear rules before you go. VERIFY
