not such good news, I was thinking about Ucluelet in June

•             Commercial fishing: Commercial troll fisheries for Chinook will be closed until August 20 in Northern BC, and August 1st on the West Coast of Vancouver Island to avoid impacting Fraser Chinook stocks and to support conservation priorities.

•           Recreational fishing: The 2019 management measures for recreational fisheries where at risk Chinook stocks may be encountered are designed to maximize returns of these at risk Chinook to their spawning grounds. Opportunities to harvest Chinook will be provided later in the season to support the long-term viability of the recreational industry. The 2019 measures include:

•          Non-retention of Chinook in Southern BC ( Johnstone Strait and Northern Strait of Georgia) until July 14; a daily limit of one (1) Chinook per person per day  from July 15 until August 29, and two (2) per person per day from Aug 30th  until December 31.   Non-retention of Chinook in the Strait Juan de Fuca and Southern Strait of Georgia until July 31; retention of one (1) Chinook per person per day as of August 1 until August 29th, and two (2) per person per day from Aug 30th until December 31.

•           West Coast Vancouver Island offshore areas will have non-retention of Chinook until July 14 followed by a limit of two (2) Chinook per day from July 15 to December 31. West Coast Vancouver Island inshore waters will remain at two (2) Chinook per day for the season once at-risk Chinook stocks have passed through, to support the long term viability of the salmon and of the recreational fishery.

•           Fraser River recreational fisheries will remain closed to salmon fishing until at least August 23, and opportunities will be informed by any other conservation issues (coho, steelhead, etc).

•           Retention of two (2) Chinook per day continues to be permitted in Northern BC and inshore areas of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Other opportunities may be identified and announced in season where abundance permits.

•           An overall reduction in the total annual limit for Chinook that can be retained per person in a season from 30 fish to 10. Recreational fisheries for other species will continue. Please see the Department’s web-site for local regulations.

We’re fishing bottom fish until August 1 in my area of Juan de Fuca. Not good.

My guess is the inshore areas are the two-digit areas, where the offshore areas are preceded by a 1 to make it a three-digit number. So most of my saltwater fishing on the west coast of the Island is in area 25, but all the corresponding offshore water is labeled area 125. Just my guess.
