If your getting stuff canned or smoked it can take months
1.0. Exactly. In the summer it can take 2 months to get your fish processed.
2.0. The intent of that rule was to stop people dumping fish at a local processor when out of town then going back out and getting their limit again without returning to there residence. That makes sense.
3.0. What doesn’t make sense is I go fishing in Port Hardy July 1 catch my limit then drop my fish at St Jeans in Nanaimo July 2 on the way back to my residence in Vancouver where I will be told my fish won’t be processed till Aug 30th. The way some people seem to think is I can’t fish still Aug 31 upon receipt of my processed fish although I caught the fish two months ago and have been home. That makes zero sense and would put many fish processors and guides out of business. I am certain the DFO’s intent was not to impact the processors/guides negatively.
