Hope DFO is taking note but I doubt they'll do anything.

These wasted fish are included as bycatch and its already included. DFO wont care.

Just to remove anyone wanting to bury their head in the sand....Fraser salmon are being advertised and sold ALL OVER the LM right now. It's everywhere. I know personally of over a dozen people who have bought salmon from the natives in the last 3 weeks.

The guides are their biggest clients. I know a few that buy from FN and hang their heads in shame doing so. Most guiding outfits are using Spring parts or Sockeye parts. The cheapest source? FN

In their latest opening I believe they could not retain sockeye so they had to toss them dead or alive.

I herd that as well, Sturg guides are their biggest clients sad

The discarded pink salmon from the weekend were reported. No responses from DFO so far.

Last week's FSC chinook salmon fishery required mandatory release of sockeye salmon, dead or alive, and by-catches of pink salmon could be retained.

They can retain pinks but they generally don’t.  Most First Nations don’t eat pinks.

So let me get this straight. DFO closed the lower Fraser ostensibly to protect the sockeyes and less than expected pinks but allowed the First Nations to keep pinks as bycatch.
