This summer, the Tsilhqot’in National Government will be harvesting sockeye salmon from the Chilcotin River in accordance with their federal commercial fishing license and endorsed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Fishing will be carried out using dip nets and beach seining. Although the exact dates are not yet known, the harvesting period will coincide with the peak run through the system, which typically occurs between mid August and early September.
If you would like to be placed on a pre-order contact list to reserve sockeye please complete the information below. Please note, completing the form does not commit you to buying the fish. It enables us to notify you about harvest date and to make pick up arrangements.
Fish will be brought to Williams Lake on the day of harvest and made available for pick up between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. the day of the harvest and between 9:00 and 11:00 the following morning. You will be contacted ahead of the harvest date to provide you the in-town pick-up location
Prices will be market driven. Last year, during our inaugural pilot fishery, the fish were sold whole for $15, or an average of $2.38 per pound of whole fish.
