Didn't someone earlier say the intended escapement is 6 million pinks? With the current estimated run size of 4.5million, why would there be a sport opening for pinks at all?
"DFO will continue to monitor the
migration of sockeye through the marine areas and the Fraser River and will
consider an opening for pink salmon when it is determined that impacts of an in-
river recreational fishery would be minimal for sockeye."
Looks to me like pinks would be open if sockeye counts were not so low. Not sure what their escapement number is.
