More good news as FOC struck a deal with Cheam to allow drift nets in the Fraser River from Jones Hill to Jespersons.

Now for the good news they will be able to fish from 5 am to 11am and 5pm to 11 pm 5 days a week. Not sure what days so when out on the river you will have lots of drift nets to avoid.

As well they will be coming by your fishing spots in these areas so be prepared to pull your rods.

Also set net opening starting tomorrow from Mission Bridge to Sawmill Creek for 96 hours.

 I am starting to worry how can the fish stocks handle this pressure.

A foot note: it seems if you break the law you get what you want.

[dead head]

big time sucks

Rascism if I've ever heard it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Commercial boys get a set 12 hour opening for sale profits and chief gets to drift his net pretty much whenever he wants with these pathetic rules for profit as well. my smelly socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One country one law.

Forgot to mention the RCMP is setting up a meeting between FOC, Cheam, SDA, and sports anglers etc to discuss this as they expect peace to prevail. I may be asked to attend this meeting but I am so upset I do not know if I would go anyway.  I think this will just heat up the situation with the other user groups having to pull rods and anchors etc. as they come by.

Once again I worry about the fish now more than ever before.

Hows the protest coming along?

[canoe man]

this may sound like a dumb question but what is the difference between a set net and a drift net ?

i wonder what the coast guard has to say about drift nets in an area where boats are anchored hmm

A set net is usually left unattended for hours on end with a bouy and standing still from the shore.(Great for the odd Coho's and Steelhead getting caught up in between) A drift net is one that is flowing downstream taking out everything in it's path. Done in a boat.

WEll, i have to study for an exam tomorrow morning, but i think i'll write a letter or two to my MP and to the Misiter of Fisheries.  I'll post it when i'm done, and i hope that all of you do the same

I have just sent one, more of you must do it too. Our fish need our help with this many nets now in the river. Meeting re the protest tomorrow night.

the rivers are gonna be closed for quite a while if they dont get their heads outta their ***es

[chris gadsden]

Just talked to Phil from the Survival Coalition and he is suggesting to his members that they fly their flags at half mast. Maybe we should get some made up for the rec anglers to do the same.

 Maybe with a fish on it?

Will discuss at tomorrows meeting.
