Don't get what you are trying to say? Spell it out
I get the frustration, I truly do. They targeted 5% Canadian fishery mortality for the spring 4 and 5.2s and the summer 5.2s. We didnt meet that, and rec alone was close to the 5% on the summer 5.2s (re that avid angler meeting)...and we aren't first in the allocation policy.
Thank god they left the herring...
And the response time on the Big Bar slide...outstanding
month to month leases for fish farms...
those stellar moves should help...maybe they will have a change of heart.
I've got the drone (and know how to use it well) if concerned parties want to get together this Summer to video record the Native Spring Salmon Blood Bath on the Fraser River. Sold my jet boat so if people are interested lets start another thread specifically for this and get some serious volunteers together. I may be able to get a friend or two with jet boats to help as well. It's not just the gill nets you want to get on tape.. there's a lot more to see up river.
Was trying to put politics behind and let others do the battling cause I've had bad life experiences in the past with this kind of **** with the government ******** and these other aforementioned parties but enough is enough. I have some personal information of where they will be laying nets completely across the river branches up river as well. Was involved with some of this **** about 20 years ago as well.. It's disgusting. Nice plan they came up with and it worked well of course. They lobbied the ***** governments to do exactly what they wanted so there's 10 times the amount of Springs entering the river so they can annihilate them all. This government/native union has absolutely zero to do with whats best for mother nature and it's creatures on Earth. And no I'm not racist. I'm just F'ing fed up with the discrimination to the rest of us. We all share this earth.
I have a license but don’t recognize that I can’t keep a hatchery raised Chinook which is in no way has any affiliation with the depressed Fraser stocks that I do support protectingFishing without a license is another battle. A license places you under contract to which you MUST abide the terms and conditions of license. I wouldn't suggest either as a venue of protest. People have lost in both cases.
Figures lie & lier's figure. 400,000 COULD be somebody's estimate on total Chinook mortality BC-wide from rec fishing. I could see 150K Chinook retained BC-wide, so you would need a very high mortality rate associated with releasing fish, or what is called "drop-off" mortality where a fish that is hooked but get's away eventually dies. Most reliable sources would put the total for both at around 20%, which would mean an additional 1 million or so released Chinook. My cousin was at a resort up by Stuart Island last June & said they were C&R about 30 fish each per day, and from the Vancouver area reports on this site similar stuff seems to be going on there as well. Given the 20% mortality, that's killing 6 Chinook per day per angler.Did recreational really catch 400,000 Fraser Chinook or is that number Chinook from all areas?
20-3 to 20-7 is inclusive....meaning 20-4,20-5 etc. So not even remotely similarThe regs look similar to last year for the sooke area ?
