What was being netted below mission bridge Apr 11

Did anyone else drive over the mission bridge on sunday and see the guys netting between the bridges? I thought we were closed to chinook retention to protect early season stocks of concern?

FN are already getting Chinook openings.
Fraser is a **** trickle, pretty easy pickings this time of year.


Remember we are all closed to protect these stocks of concern!

Eulachon is a thing this time of year too. Someone posted a link to fishery openings here last year and most of the early season fishing was associated with non salmon targets.

Eulachon is a possibility. But one would think it would be easy to tell the difference between Eulachon and salmon gill nets even @ a distance.

Somebody needs to record what’s going on if chinook are being targeted and then try to find a media outlet with the balls to air it
If chinook are closed to protect early run stocks and they’re fishing them it needs to be made public and questions asked

 

[Whitebuck]

There was almost 50 drift and set net openings last year on extreme stocks of concern early timed Chinook from April till end of July.

Great way to rebuild the stocks that are bordering on extinction.

Sent a letter to the minister about this asking her to justify these openings, I’m sure it’ll be crickets as usual for a response.

The traditional gauntlet. History rewritten.

 

[browningmirage]

I believe The openings are for pretty limited numbers of fish...often 2 or 3.

Its the nets that aren't associated with an opening that are trouble

i hope the river level is coming up, was pretty low they would get hammered
