Important Chinook Information - Feedback Required

[Charlie415]

I seen a graph a while ago showing the percentages of chinook taken by the different user groups. Can't find where it was. Seem to recall sport fishing took about 7% of the chinook catch and nets in the river took closer to 50%. Has anyone see this document?

Got the same old, time worn, automated reply.
Then again, wasn't expecting anything better...

When I sent my letters I included a copy of a scientific report published in "Nature" in Nov. 20, 2017. This comprehensive study covers 40 years of research on the topic at hand. I tried to upload it here, but the file was too large. If anyone is interested you should be able to find the study at www.nature.com/scientific reports.

The title of the study is:
"Competing tradeoffs between increasing marine mammal predation and fisheries harvest of Chinook salmon"

I also forwarded the study to the Governor's office in Washington State and received a personal response from his media person. Nothing like real data to help put a problem in perspective. If you only take the time to read the "Results" section you will come away with a decent appreciation for the history of the issue.

I got the same canned response from DFO that everyone else got.

Just to prove a point someone should submit a letter that has nothing to do with the topic. Make it as bizarre as possible and then see what comes back...just to prove they don't read any of them. Post both the letter and the response here for all of us to see.

I recommend in your letters that you close with a request for a personal reply as to the ministers plans so that you can assess and then plan further actions accordingly such as who you might vote for in the upcoming election. I have followed up my letters and canned replies with such a statement. No love yet but I have asked firmly.

Do we have a list of MP's that are favorable to the public fishery?

Mel Arnold (conservative) of North Ok/Shuswap is the deputy fisheries critic. I usually include him in my writing. He’s also my MP though.

 

[UkeeDreamin]

Mel Arnold, that conservative douche would give it all to the commies if he had his way!

Cheers!

SVIAC has just started a petition which I believe Mel Arnold will stand up in the house of commons and speak too. We will have this petition at our both in the Victoria Boat Show and I have distributed forms to Sherwood Marine Centre, SG Power Products, Island Outfitters, Trotac Marine, Capital Iron, (downtown) Peetz Outdoors, Vector Marine and Scotty. I will have them in more locations today and will post them. Here is the petition.

 

[UkeeDreamin]

I had a conversation with him recently where he pulled out the old conservative stance, shouldn’t we just write off these weak stocks so we can fish the stronger stocks and let industry develop? Slimy politicians will always tell you what you want to hear to get back into power. Politicians should be judged by what they do while in power, not what they promise when out of it ... and we all know what the conservatives did to tear up protections for our fishery resource and their efforts to commoditize the west coast fishery in favour of the commercial sector.

Be careful who you get into bed with, particularly the likes of Arnold!!!

Cheers!

[profisher]

Well aware and agree with what you say. We are just using his position to get this petition on the floor of the house of commons.

 

[wildmanyeah]

Liberals are better for the enviorment and salmon but they would give the public fishery to the commercial First Nations sector if they could.

It’s kinda a ****** choice

I hope sfab and all the other organizations involved in this are pushing for science and not politics to be used. Ex. Area 12 being included when the numbers show (from what I’ve been told) there are barely any Fraser Chinook caught in the area. Therefore no reason to include it in the recommendations as will not have any positive effect.

Makes no sense to include area 12

Don't hold your breath.
Near two decades of DNA and tagged fish recaptures from Area G PROVE their catch is 95% plus US origin.
Off the water until August.
Quota slashed to 8K pieces.
Due to "concerns with Fraser River Stocks Of Concern".
All LIES!

Their Agenda is set.
Wishing the Best of Luck for all in this swamp!!
