jcw,

In Canadian waters, halibut is open for two fish a day, three in possession from Feb 1st to Dec 31st... ie., there is no quota and it's only closed for the month of January... a little different than down here, eh?

If you're talking about the Canadian swiftshure, I think that area is overseen by the Fisheries & Oceans office in Port Alberni, you can call them 8am to 4pm, Monday through Friday at 250-724-0195 for more details.

For for BC in-season updates, go here:

Hope this helps, email me if you need more.
