Sad thing is there appears as there is no enforcement! Has anyone seen the jet boats with officers in them this year?
Watched two expensive fn jet boats yesterday park in plain view of other recreation anglers and proceed to BB and retain sockeye.
Why, because they can. Who is going to stop them. And we shrugged at their behaviour and their reaction was to shrug back.
Why don't we confront them? Sorry, have already had one rifle a few years ago fired to scare us away.
Good luck.  Spend a few nights in the fraser canyon where law abiding fn don't have their nets in during
the day. Watch the gong show as darkness comes on.( Other people?) use these same nets for there own use without permission from
law abiding fn that own the nets. Night goggles and huge fines are great, but in our revolving door justice system?
It's a sad thing that has happened to our precious Fraser.

When I was up there the first week it was open, we got stopped by an officer at Island 22 as she was waiting for the boat to be ready to go out.

A couple days later, a DFO jet came to where we were fishing, stopped at one of the many boats around, had them pull up anchor and beach the boat and spent a good 45 minutes to an hour discussing and calling stuff in.  After that, both boats left, DFO downstream, the other up.  They only checked one boat so could have been friends or something.

Does this amend the Tidal Fraser closure?

Subject:    FN0741-RECREATIONAL - Salmon- South Coast marine waters- Closed time for sockeye salmon fishing- Correction to FN0739
Amendment to FN0739:  The previous version of this notice did not include Area

notice follows.

Effective 23:59 hours Thursday, August 15, 2013 until further notice, fishing

Areas 11 to 21, 24 to 28, 121, 123 to 127 and Subareas 29-1 to 29-10. 

Current run size estimates of Fraser River Summer Run sockeye salmon combined
with record water temperatures in the Fraser River have resulted in no
allowable harvest available. The Department's priorities are to ensure that
there is sufficient sockeye returning to the spawning grounds. The Department
is continuing to manage fisheries to minimize sockeye impacts and provide
priority access to First Nations' fishing for food, social and ceremonial
purposes.

Anglers fishing for other salmon species in areas that remain open are required
to take every measure possible to ensure that their fishing activities does not
impact sockeye salmon.

usally most nets while river is closed are under water secured to shore.  Couple years back a boat flipped due to under water net causing the 3 occupents over board and a flipped boat.  I forget what this netting is called but the RCMP couldnt prove the responsibility even though it was on the Harrison(Stolo) and tied to shore.  I guess it was from unstream
