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.

I'd rather fish pikeminnows in solitude, it's been awesome :)

Wasn't very good yesterday in the evening, rocks aren't a easy place to fish off.

Better off chasing pikeminow

No fishing for salmon - can't target, catch and release.

No retention for salmon - can target, catch and release, but cannot retain.

Things like this donot help the pinks or any other salmon. One would think charges should have been laid. https://youtu.be/80uZmWQOqcQ

DFO would rather target recreational fisherman, who take a tiny amount of the fish and most do so respectfully, than actually enforce the law and get tough on the polluters / aboriginal / commercial.  It burns me up!

Doesn't matter, DFO is simply shut down recreational fishing if there isn't enough fish
