Fisher69,
When there is deemed enough chinook to harvest by DFO's AABM management calculations all fisheries continue. And for the public fishery based upon the priority access system for chinook. The order is FN get their FSC requirements first, then the public fishery (sportfishing sector) next and then commercial fishermen last. So according to that system, the public fishery will close when DFO as managers of the fisheries consider the stocks are in such low abundance and do not to forget when all commercial fishing has been curtailed too.
So before there is any shutting down of the public fishery, Area G troll closed completely and no more northern troll fleet either, they would have to be closed plus there can be no retention of any chinook bycatch in any other commercial fisheries.
Ergo everyone better start shouting loud and lobbying real hard to get the hatchery system functioning at full tilt once more with an injection of our tax dollars from government. Plus press real hard to have chinook habitat restored and water guarantees for fish in rivers or no ones fishing chinook in ten to fifteen years.
That is the last I will write about chinook here as it is a halibut topic and my apologies to all for veering off course.
