Commercial Fishing Closed On the Fraser August 16
« on: August 16, 2004, 07:11:11 AM »
I just heard on BCTV commercial sockeye fishing now closed on the Fraser.

The REC fishing closure is not far behind and hopefully the FN fishery as well as they certainly have had more than their share as far as I can determine.

I would guess next Sunday but only a guess, will post if I hear for sure.

I believe it was a FN fishery for the lower bands.

Here's what your looking for and NO they are not done. Cultas LK sockeye protected my A$$. Looks like special privileges again.....Ahhh but wasn't conservation to come first? Horsebleep!  >:(

Openings they did have:

As I posted on another thread it is apparently closing Wednesday night for the rec guys because of a shortfall of fish now.

 So it should close for everyone.

But it is not closing for everyone. Things continue to be out on control on the FOC front.
