Project Summary

The recreational angling access to the Chehalis River was effected by a 200+ year flood event in 2004 that diverted the Chehalis river through Band reserve, obliterating the old access trail and causing anglers to tresspass on reserve. As a backdrop to new salmon fisheries emerging in the Harrison River, this project involves relationship building activities (i.e. protocol and trail access around sensitive ecological and Reserve lands) while engaging broader access disucssions associated with commercial salmon fisheries development in the watershed by the Chehalis Band. The access trail is trargeted for completion (first phase) in the fall of 2008. A sport fishing dialogue is proposed late in the fiscal year involving braodeer angling interests, First Nations and managers. In addition to lead partners the BC Federation of Driftfishers and the Freshwater Fisheries Association of BC, the BC Ministry of Tourism and Trade are partners in the project and are considering modifications to the parking area to accomodate better/greater parking access. The Chehalis Band who administers the park site is considering extended opening periods to accommodate the winter fishery.
