The only thing I regret is your bad attitude.

Lol. that makes no sense. Like a lot of other guys your responses mostly reflect  a sort of doctrine and not much thinking. Personally I don't enjoy watching poor catch and release procedure as I saw from one video taken just a few weeks ago. I haven't been up there this summer. Can't justify the gas money.

I'd say c&r is better than a limit of 2 in this specific case. I'd also agree the northern end of the Sound should either be c&r or have a lower limit of 2 than the standard 4.

As to why DFO hasn't implemented something like that? Ask DFO. I have heard but can not confirm they don't really monitor the health of the pink salmon stocks in the Squamish though others do. Without some sort local or user group requests,  the standard bag limit will apply. In tidal water that's 4. In river that's zero.

So I suggest people email, write or call them and ask to drop the limit of 4 in Areas 28-4 and 28-5... be sure to copy the Minister & the Provincial Minister.

cheers my friends.

It's the same bonehead logic that placed 6 DFO officers at Centennial Beach yesterday staffing some info booth with stuffed killer Wales. Peak salmon fishing season and 6 officers are chatting it up with families on their day off.

Ya that's BS.

One DFO officer was out at Furry on Friday am checking barbs and licenses.  I had two nice chats with him (when he checked me and later when he was filling out notes and paperwork when I was leaving). 

One bonehead with a pretty nice levelwind and $ rod was ticketed, the officer couldn't tell me why but listed what the fines were for fishing without a license and not pinching your barb

[santefe]

What are the fines?

[dennisK]

Wasn't there a time you were allowed to use barbed hooks in saltwater?

[RalphH]

yes but then there was a time we could use barbed hooks in streams and kill wild steelhead.

[dennisK]

Haha I know I know...but my questions was when did the regs change for saltwater.

[wildmanyeah]

What are the fines?

think its 500 bucks now, ouch

Fishing for a specified species of fish other than with specified gear or by a specified method   500

[RalphH]

Haha I know I know...but my questions was when did the regs change for saltwater.

I think it was around 30 years ago.

I think it was around 30 years ago.

thanks! that sounds about the last time I was on the local saltwaters.
