Isn't this a lot like closing the stable door after the horse bolted?

DFO allows the commercial fishermen to thin them out to below the threshold for in-river retention. Suddenly they're shut and everyone cries no fair. Pretty sad to see about the illegal driftnetting in the ocean but methinks those poor chaps are just the unlucky ones to get caught....... >:(

thanks Sage2106, it's nice to get a FN perspective which is pretty rare on a 'Sportie' site though not that different than some anglers.

10 of 15 total posts in the last few weeks. It would seem someone has a bizarre infatuation with some of the things I write.

LOL

who is living under a rock now? Maybe it's the people who imagine this is a Fraser watershed issue due to the beach seine fishery when in fact it is a wide spread low return associated with a pattern of low cycle returns. Chum returns have always been quite variable up and down the coast.

When you posted links to 25 year old data did I tell you we were off topic? What do returns 25+ years ago have to do with returns this year? No I didn't because there was something to learn in that data.

Lol, I expected nothing less. My rock is getting a lot of love these days. Its much easier than actually trying to figure out where you are going with this said topic. On the fence / Off the fence??
your links and data have nothing to do with the fraser chum, what they do have in common is the fact our fisheries management team can not do a sufficient job of ensuring the public's trust in managing our fish. Clear as mud for most.

I always forget that the chum from the Fraser River swim in a different ocean from all the chum in all those other rivers. ::)
