They win!! I give up! Hi speed riggers and lots of gear going on sale later today-pics to come !
The reason FN can do what they want is because they have the support of the people that have nothing to do with the industry. This isn't going to get better for us. Every dam Facebook post turns into some racist rant in the comments and usually by some douche holding up a dead tyee. We will not win that fight.Fool me once shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me... Sad to say No one to blame but ourselves. . How many time do we listen to those who are representing the rec fishing sector until we realize the strategy of playing nice and playing by the rules jsut don't frekin work???? How many times? We are the dumb and stupid fools... Why would this year be different than previous years? DFO are like used car salesmen who sell lemon cars... Tell you what you want to hear, give you hope, say all the right things and then next thing you know your pants are down to your ankles and you just got shafted.
Letters dont frekin work... Writing a huge proposal and trying to use logic, common sense and data in our proposal to DFO doesn't work... All we do is sit and wait and hope for the best.. Then when the ****** news comes out, we get pissed but don't do anything about it. Next year same **** will happen. How is it that deep down inside everyone would have been content if they kept the regulations the same as last year when those weren't even acceptable? With the crappy new regs this year, does that mean next year we will hope they keep them the same as this year? It a damn game of chicken and we Always flinch first. They know we won't make a stink about it. Why do you think FN can do as they please on the rivers and oceans? Because there will be a **** storm by every FN group in the province if a confrontation happens.. And DFO knows it.
No more playing nice. No more freaking proposals.. We need to make a stance and draw a line in the sand. Otherwise this **** will happen year after year.
So, down here in the Vancouver area we can't target chinook until August...but can we still go fishing and target coho? That's the way I read it. And if you happen to hook a chinook you have to release it prior to Aug 1. For month of Aug there's a slot of 65-80cm. Hmmm

o NEW: No fishing for salmon/Chinook

WTF!?! What does this mean? Chinook are 1 of 5 species of pacific salmon. I honestly want to catch some coho...am I allowed to target them?
we, in western provinces, didn’t vote these incompetent clowns into the office. We’re really fu$&ked by those in the east, almost in all aspects.When the minister in charge of the fisheries lasy year was reelected the message sent was very clear. Honestly guys....
I’m up for a blockade! I’m in.
Also we need drones on the river posting videos of the slaughter. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and social media is were you get the public’s attention.
Exactly couldn’t agree moreIt will be business as usual on my rig.

I hear ya. But if you look at the bigger picture of AB and BC, Libs weren’t even close to their original targets.I'm in Jonathan Wilkinson's riding. I was certain that this riding would flip back to Ralph Saxton (Conservative) but the Lonsdale corridor voted strongly Liberal (again). I couldn't believe it.
