Where are you getting your information about the tynehead hatchery from RJS? I have caught numerous clipped fish in their systems.

From visiting the hatchery !
clipped fish come from inch creek hatchery !

Most coho are raised in Inch Creek catchery simply because Tynhead doesn't have the space.
They raise a lot of chum and chinook, steelhead.
But some of these fully volunteer based hatcheries are small and don't have the space or the resources.

Here is an idea:

Establish a summer run of steelhead on the Vedder.

Love that idea.

The lower mainland  fisheries is truly a beautiful thing to experience as much as some of us complain about certain issues,we should be  proud of  what we have  and do our best to take care of our rivers,lakes and oceans .In last 6 yrs i have lived in 3 other cities ,2 different countries and  nothing  comes close to the lower mainland . Right now im living in london and i need to book an appointment and pay 22- 200 pounds everytime i go fishing ,then when i get there im fishing on nice manicured lawns with a ghilles that tells you where the fish hold and nets your catch. So please take care of our fishery ,pick up loose line, put your cans and snack bags in the bin and dont pick up ur dog poop just to just throw the bag in the river ,lake or bush,treat fellow  anglers with respect  nothing hard about saying morning or hi back to someone  cause you never know if one day you might need a helping hand on the river .Cheers and tight lines

I applaud the hard work of everyone that keeps our fisheries healthy. 

Oh, and by the way...13 inch Rainbow caught at Rice Lake today.

Love that idea.

where do you 2 think the wild stock will come from?

I also think the limit in lower mainland lakes should be  2.
ps. The fishing in the city stocking program is great.

I don't agree with that.
2 twinkie trout are not a whole lot.

[EZ_Rolling]

They are not food....
They are for catching if they were meant to be food there would be a price tag on them and they would already be dead and cleaned for you.

I think that popular saltwater fishing spots need more dfo in Summer. There are a lot of crab, perch and rockfish poachers.

I agree especially with the crabs..witnessed someone doing that (retaining undersized crab) at Belcarra pier last summer..he returned the crab back into the sea after I told him that it was illegal.

Greater enforcement for the recovering bottom fish in the Strait of Georgia. Specific to Pt Atkinson.

[DanJohn]

100% catch and release of all fish (except non native invasive species) of all waters in region 2 (Or just BC in general.) Thats what Id like to see!

Do you include hatchery produced salmonids in that sentence?

[Rodney]

what are we supposed to eat then....? These??

[jimmywits]

Do you include hatchery produced salmonids in that sentence?

x2

and both fresh and salt water???

I was going to qualify my statement with "except hatchery fish." But then I thought, we would be extremely close to where we are now. Now, I am not nearly educated enough in this field to say, do this, and everything will be better, but my inner hippie says, leave the damn fish in the water. Trick em, play with them a bit, then send them back on their way. Now, without the people filling freezers to pay for licenses, obviously many hatcheries would not exist (if not all, again, not nearly educated enough!)

But I know enforcement would be easy. Fish out of water? Take his gear and leave him with a fine!

To jimmy. Especially salt water. Leave the damn marine life alone.

I know it wont happen, but you betcha, if there was a full C&R reg for region 2, or BC, I would not be upset in the least.

Oh and Rod, those pictures are gross. Dont be gross. /has never eaten farmed Salmon, and hasnt had a Filet O "Fish" in a decade.
