Hmmm, suspense.....
Dave that is crazy! Would it happen to be related (persons or problems) to the seine of the pool a year or two ago in protest of the sockeye not being open?
I thought as much. It is too bad because the CR fishing community is generally full of good people who go out of their way to help each other, not mess with each other. Unfortunately the common brain sense possessed by most of us seems to have skipped this particular person (or persons) genome. They don't seem to understand that targeting this small percentage of the local fishing community won't get them anywhere or make them any friends in the community. It also damages the reputation of a very prominent family and community (within a community) which I am sure is frustrating for them as well.
I hope it all gets sorted out soon as this kind of thing gets old really quick.
That is absolutely ridiculous, and is a pathetic display! I only hope there is some consequences for there actions this time.

9 devices recovered after a diver was sent down in the Tyee Pool. A couple of these floats were breaking the surface at low tide, and could pose a real navigation hazard if they wash down to the river mouth. The thought of a boat or floatplane snagging one of these while transiting the river mouth is scary. There's lots of tide action in the area, and increased current flow from the river with the recent rains. Old plugs and spoons are valuable, but not as much as a boaters life.
This stunt was a damn dangerous thing to do.
Because it involves local FN persons "concerned" over the sockeye food fishery, and ownership of the Campbell River and it's fish, little will/can be done. The only effective pressure that can be imposed is from within the band, as it was last time a gill net was set in the pool. I am really surprised the band wants the bad press that will come from this.
***** TAKE NOTE ****** The Tyee Club removed 40-60 tons of decades old wood/garbage from the mouth of our Campbell River mouth this past winter. This is how we are repaid?
Sorry for the sideline Dave, back to the fishing!
