There are still sockeye in the river, and it's about the nets catching sockeye when the FN cant.  The rec fishery is just collateral damage.

not a chance, it's all about First Nations having a clear path to all and any salmon in the Fraser with Chinooks being netting in particular and who runs the show. All staff below the regional director have gags orders on them to not say what's happening.

What was the size of 2021 pink return? I started salmon fishing 2021 and Fraser pink was the first salmon I caught, it was on Sept 10…If we’re getting a larger return this year what exactly holding the DFO opening up for rec anglers?

rock bottom line is First Nations are stopping the rec angler from fishing. DFO has said so in meetings. This is why it's not opening

Long time lurker here, I felt really bad last year about not having proper salmon stamp ....don't feel that bad anymore looking at how corrupt DFO is....I don't know about you guys but I am taking my son out for some pink salmon fishing in Fraser before he starts his university even if it's open or closed ....call dfo if you want to report me ;-)

Don't feel bad, it's the same logic why I steal from Save-On when I go shopping. Old Jimmy Pattison is a corrupt, rich weasel. Why shouldn't I stuff my pockets with chicken? I teach my children to do the same. Call the cops if you want to report me :D

Best laugh of the day.... Its amazing how people justify doing something wrong or illegal to convince themselves they are owed something from someone else.   Not picking on you, I have done the same in the past,  BUT it is wrong...

There is hope that a notice will go out Friday for a Saturday or Tuesday opening

But that’s all it is at this point

The FN have been throwing back sockeye, and ya if they cant have it no one can.  The SCOC saw to that.

No. SCOC set the principles by which the Fishery operates. It was DFO and Government's choice when they could have negotiated a deal with FNs. How the fishery is managed and administered is up to DFO.

turned into a complete joke!

When did it TURN into a joke....yesterday? It's been a joke since the early 90s.

  The FN have been throwing back sockeye, and ya if they cant have it no one can. 

No they haven't. Come to Chilliwack. Both Sockeye and Springs are here for sale by the 100s of pounds. FN is NOT throwing back their sockeye....unless DFO is standing right there when they bring in the nets.

Even though it's a sarcasm, I don't see a problem robbing from corrupt people. Laws change over time, a law doesn't mean it is THE right law, take for example slavery and laws against FN over the history of Canada, I will go against such corrupt laws and govt (in this case DFO) and teach my kid the same. Your path is different than mine.
