This proposal is now closed for comments.

Summary: Alta Lake changes to daily quota.

Status: Proposed

Region: 2, Lower Mainland

Management unit (MU): 2-9

Regulation type: Quota

Species: Trout/Char

Closing date: February 14, 2025

Decision statement: Pending

Current regulation:

  • No Fishing from December 1 to March 31
  • Release all kokanee, trout and char
  • Bait ban
  • Single barbless hook
  • Speed restriction (12 km/h)

Proposed regulation:

  • No Fishing from December 1 to March 31
  • Bait ban,
  • single barbless hook
  • speed restriction (12 km/h)
  • Release all kokanee
  • Trout/char daily quota is 2 (no trout over 40 cm) and no more than 1 char (none under 60 cm)

Rationale:

The proposed size limit (40 cm) is intended to protect the larger size classes to achieve trophy size while allowing some harvest of smaller, stunted fish to reduce competition and promote overall growth in the population.
