ditch full of dead salmon fouund dumped near tswassen bands land, 41st and the dyke.
delta municipial workers apparently had to bring in a dump truck to gather the rotting wasted fish. Spoke to a municipal employee today and he informed me of this utterly offensive, reprehensible act.
Goddamn poaching , fish wasting ^#&%$#&^%$*^$^#*#*%$(%^ !!!!!!

What species were they ?

[Lew Chater]

Do you know if this dump was reported to the DFO ?

[Floater]

OMG if its sox then freaking what does it take to shut down FN and let us have an opener for a week or so gosh this is tottal bull.

[Old Black Dog]

No one said WHO put them there.

So do not assume! You have to PROVE who did it, not guess.

[jettabambino]

who ever did it should be charged criminally...   and freaking baddly to

[Geff_t]

I guess this happens everwhere on the fraser tidal or not. It sure is a shame. Who needs a chemical spill when you have nets.

[redtide]

those are all fish that they were not able to sell on the side of the road at 10 bucks each. they spoil quickly on hot summer days. thats called a food fishery guys. PS send that picture to the media as well.

[Lew Chater]

Could they have been pinks?  We see piles of pinks on the bank during pink season all the time as the FN generally do not want pinks. We have seen them in the past take 50 plus pinks out of the set net and throw them all dead back into the river. Not an unusual occurance but a tremendous waste.

Can we STOP and THINK about what are being posted here please?

Why are some of you making quick assumptions that the dumped salmon in the ditch are from First Nation fishermen?

Secondly, the dumped salmon should be reported to the ORR line, DFO Steveston or RCMP if it hasn't been done so. While I respect allwaysfishin's work and his information is most likely credible, it is still second hand information. While the sockeye issue is hot in the media, people need to be objective and think before they say something that can backfire.

It's not us against them. It's not about shutting down the First Nation fishery so the recreational sector can have an opening.

[scruffy]

:'(that someone has done such a thing

[allwaysfishin]

I agree Rod, I had hoped there would be some more info availlable but I have not been able to confirm any details through Delta municipality. The fellow I spoke with lives in the area that this occured and also is a municipal works employee. he was not a member of the clean up crew.
I was told it was salmon, several hundred, actual species not identified NOR was this for sure a dumping by first nations. It's proximity to the reserve land is strange though.
anyhow, if I hear more on this I'll let ya'all know.

[redtide]

this is the first year i have heard of fish dumping. no matter who it is people are going to be sensitive because of the waste factor. it doesn't matter what species...pink sockeye spring its the fact these fish are caught and then dumped to rot! and throw in the fact about low abundance year.......i  have already moved on about sockeye fishing for this year but i personnally get pissed when waste is happening and we know who they are 99% of the time.

[ocean_going]

pecan? 99%  ?
 are you sure
?
