KOKANEE SALMON FISHERY CLOSURE
Pursuant to subsection 35(1) of the National Parks of Canada Fishing Regulations, no person shall, while fishing within Kluane National Park & Reserve, retain Kokanee Salmon.
This order is created in order to protect the kokanee salmon whose adult spawning numbers have dropped drastically during recent years. The continued existence of this population is dependent on the public’s cooperation with this order and visitors are requested to not target kokanee as a catch and release species.
