Agreed. Before they make a statement that the same amount of anglers were out to catch and release they should get off their asses and check the ramps to see how many boat trailers were parked there or get in a boat and survey how many boat were out on the water. I was barely out during that time and the few times I got out here was hardly anyone on the water. Made a run over to thraser for some bottom fish during may on a sunny weekend when there should be loads of boat over there during a peak time for salmon fishing... It was a ghost town there when it should have been a full house.
Same experience for me up here Comox/Campbell River. Weekend , glass calm, best tides of the month (May) and fish galore . Counted a total of four boats all day from Cape mudge, to CampbellRiver hump to green can and Francisco. Only 2 appeared to be fishing others, on the move. Exact same in June as well. With that weather, tides and incredible fishing it would have been bumper to bumper on any other year.
No way that would have provided a measurable amount of Mortality on the Fraser fish in question.
