I have never said any of these things.

I don't understand what your issue is. I posted information about the pre-season pink salmon forecast and you've gone off on a tirade.

There are lots of gill net / set nets on the Fraser back channels when there are salmon in the rivers.  Whether there is an opening or no opening.  I see them every year from the mouth of the Vedder up to Hope.  Its just the way it is.  Also talk to a couple of old timers that bar fish for springs every year in out of the way areas.  Keeps them happy and active and get fish for the year.

Ralph believes that our FN people are all law abiding citizens that only take what they are allowed. He also believes the chiefs of each band always keep their FN fishermen in line.

The fact remains that even though our government discriminates by race who gets to fish and who doesn't, and also that FN people gets first crack at the salmon.....the natives still... even with being first in everything (in regards to salmon harvest).....break the law and take fish (and by unlawful methods) whenever they want according to what they see as right or wrong.
Ralph has no issues with any of that as he has displayed in his posts for over 2 decades now.

You have no idea what I think or how I think.

oh I get it Robert, it's just that you don't get I get it simply because I don't talk or think like you.

No, I think like a sporty and someone who desires equality and fairness among the different demographics....I think for myself.
You think how you are told to think. Whatever the TV or other MSM tells you. There is a big difference.

In river pink fishery is an egg fishery. Yes it is terribly wasteful.

And yet Bar Fishing (which is as selective as fishing gets) for Chinook (numbers were more than decent) was completely banned  (as well as before the IFS window). You still don't get it......

Looking back through 2021 and 2023 for FN and general commercial fisheries there were few to no openings for pinks that authorized use of gill or drift nets.FN openings allowed  Beach seines. seines, dip nets, gaffs, hook and line etc - yes but not gill nets. Two factors to explain this - low sockeye numbers and the IFS window.

And yet somehow, there were still piles of unwanted pinks dumped all over the gravel bars (dozens of pictures for proof were shown to the public) to rot in the sun. Why did that happen? I'm thinking only the nicer salmon species were actually being kept. IE. Coho, Chinook, and Sockeye.
