DFO REgs

[hooked for life]

What kind of Mickey Mouse outfit post regulations like this with a department as large as they are.:

"
To address conservation concerns for at-risk Fraser River Chinook stocks, DFO
is continuing precautionary reductions in commercial, recreational and First
Nation's fisheries to support conservation of these stocks. This Fishery Notice
provides the interim recreational fishery management measures to provide
protection to at-risk Fraser River Chinook stocks in Areas 11 to 28, 121 to 127
and Subareas 29-1 to 29-5 and 29-8. The plan is to start the 2020 fishing
season (beginning April 1, 2020) with the measures that were in place at the
beginning of last season (April 2019) until further notice. As these are
interim measures, a further announcement on possible revised management actions
is anticipated in June 2020. The Sport Fishing Advisory Board (SFAB) is being
consulting on potential changes to the 2020 fishing plan. "

Why don't the just list what they are trying to say, do they assume everyone has been fishing the year before?
I know last years regulations but not everyone does. AMATEUR HOUR

Some illustrious DFO member has written the reg's in a manner they feel least offensive
to the fishing community.
I agree, tell it like it is and let everyone know it's closed for retention.

The thing that is really amazing about this is that the regulations that were in place at the beginning of April did allow retention. The non-retention regs did not get posted until 18 April. So if you read this literally it is contradictory.
