was anyone in todays meeting? Any talk of rec opening?

A rec open will happen, hopefully sooner than later.

[Easywater]

I believe that the meeting will be tomorrow (Wednesday) and they should release a tidal Fraser opening on Saturday.
Announcement should be between 3pm and 6pm.

[Roderick]

Supposed to meet today Aug 29th.

In 2013, they opened the Tidal Fraser and Non Tidal August 31st.  2 Years ago, they opened only the Tidal for a week first before opening the Non-Tidal.



Tuesday, August 29, 2023
The Fraser River Panel met Tuesday, August 29, to receive an update on the migration of Fraser
River sockeye and pink salmon and review the status of migration conditions in the Fraser River
watershed.
It is currently estimated that 1,350,700 sockeye and 873,500 pink salmon have passed the
Mission hydroacoustics site. The Panel adopted a run size of 20,000,000 pink salmon with an
associated Area 20 timing of August 20

They have been netting chinook since March and full scale netting chinook since the week of August 13th

prior week of Aug 13th it was social and ceremonial harvest only. Up until July 30th the reported harvest was 101 fish. The chinook catch is replacement for sockeye to assist recovery after the Bug Bar slide. Reported harvest is 14 sockeye to date.

Is the Vedder going to be open for pink on September 1st ?

 VEdder and stave were timed
To open at the same time as the lower Fraser.

Where that is at now is anyone’s guess, but it still expect it will happen at some
Point.

as there should be, I don't see why it had to be delayed a week instead of the next workday or something like that

Interesting.  The panel was scheduled to meet Aug 29 but for the first time I have ever seen they failed to post a fishery notice about the meeting on the same day.

I have no insight into anything, but it would be fascinating to be privy to some of these backroom discussions.

[Easywater]

Yeah, imagine if the government said "sorry, no child tax benefit cheques, maybe next week".

This is the government we are talking about - no excuses.
