Action: Anglers will be able to retain adult sockeye salmon in Lake Osoyoos.
Effective dates: Aug 7, 2009 through Aug 30, 2009.
Location: Lake Osoyoos 300 yards south of the 49th parallel (US-Canadian border, which is marked with large fluorescent orange signs).
Species affected: Sockeye salmon.
Reason for action: Sockeye salmon returns above Zosel Dam are predicted to be in excess of needs for wild fish escapement to the spawning grounds. The population is not listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Other information: Minimum size 12 inches. Daily limit is four sockeye salmon. Release all chinook salmon. Statewide freshwater gear rules apply. Release all sockeye with colored anchor (floy) tag attached.
