What is DFO waiting for now about opening up the spring fishing on the Fraser? Didn't they say if the nets have zero sockeye for consecutive days they will open earlier than Sept 19? If you look at the last 4 days of the Albion test fishery, it is zero sockeye for 4 days now. Also 3 days before this stretch, only 2 sockeye in total were netted. So isn't that considered a condition that sockeye has gone through the lower Fraser as they have told us to be a condition to open Fraser again? So why do you think DFO is still closing down the Fraser for spring fishery?

I guess the Whonnock test had one sockeye on Sunday. Is that good enough excuse to shut down the entire Fraser Chinook fishery?
