Years ago, I fished the Tsable for winter runs. It was a nice little stream, but it was a delicate run. Didn't fish it again. Then several years ago, it was identified as a stream at risk and winter steelheading was prohibited. I haven't heard of it being reopened for Winter run fish. I would think that if there were any summer runs in that system, they would be even more vulnerable than the Winter Fish. If you want to fish summer runs, try the Stamp or some of the rivers north of the Campbell.

Fish the Tsable for cutts but leave the 2 steelhead alone. That goes for the Tsolum, Trent, Englishman, Puntledge, and any other ECVI stream. They need about 15 years to recover. Oh, sorry, there were about 50 summers in the Oyster this year but hey, that's a far cry from what it once had. You make the call. eace:

Used to fish the Tsable River back in the 70"s during the fall salmon run
but stopped.
Brought some jacks and coho home to cook up but threw them out as they tasted awful,
just like mud.
