The 2026 Tahltan Food Fishery opens on July 7th.
To align with the arrival of the Sockeye salmon, and to allow for the majority of the Chinook/King salmon to migrate up-river past our food fishing corridor, please do not set your nets until our fishery opens on July 7th.
Your TCG Fisheries Department continues to strongly encourage and advocate for ALL our members to stay the course, and assist in efforts to preserve and conserve the Tahltan River Chinook salmon populations. You can do this by NOT setting your net through the migration period of these stocks.
We would also like to ask everyone to record and release any healthy chinook from their nets. The number of Chinook released is important data for us to have as managers of the Food Fishery in Telegraph Creek.
