The province will allow the freshwater fishing season in rivers and streams on southern Vancouver Island to go ahead starting Friday.
This summer’s high temperatures and low rainfall caused drought conditions across the Island, and as a result the province closed freshwater fishing
from Campbell River to Victoria in response.
High water temperatures pose health risks for many fish, particularly trout, and increase catch-and-release mortality rates.
