Note that the current run size does not provide any TAC for a retention fishery, what the department needs to understand is that the recreational fishing sector is not the same as other sectors. We are just looking for opportunities to fish. The resource managers need to consider the possibility of opening it for catch and release only, but they don't, because that's not how they manage these fish. Phone...

IF there is no Remaining TAC, have they closed the salt?

No, there's enough for that, just nothing left for the commoners. ;)

I just sat and stared at my computer screen for 10 mins in disbelief. Anger, Turned into depression and now acceptance.

It's Friday night, who wants to go catch some rats?

Now it will be nice if the Vedder will be closed too. That will be justification to organize a protest in front of DFO offices for refund of our licenses. They refund concert tickets if the show is cancelled, don't they?  ;D ;D ;D

If the water gets lower and warmer, a ban on fishing for pinks in the Vedder may be needed.

Wow dfo threw the natives right under the buss in this one. Surprised to see the
Media roll with it. 25 illigal sockeye nets in one weekend. Care to comment relph thought u said they were using larger Chinook mesh. I have been a defender of their fishery but that many non compliance in one weekend is crazy.

"He said one of the hotspots for infractions is along the Fraser between Chilliwack and Hell's Gate. There, officers seized 25 sockeye mesh gillnet last weekend alone. The nets are used specifically to entangle sockeye, and Redekopp said in all 25 instances, the fishers were from area First Nations."
