Almost 15000 Chinook harvested in the last few weeks by FN and there isn’t enough fish?

Nothing but greed here!! There is no way conservation is being considered with all of the netting going on.

Now we have more acsess roads to fish remote spots on the frazer river for futures to come.At whos cost to build /police the roads to the slide pool.

Conservation was never part of the equation. Just reconciliation, whatever that is suppose to mean.

The rec sector has lost the Thompson River chinook fishery this year "due to concerns for the low sockeye return" yet the FN have their usual nets on the Thompson. No one at them when i went by last night so not sure if they're targeting Springs or Sockeye but regardless for the few "incidental bycatch" of sockeye the rec sector may catch and release while fishing for Springs it seems we're going to continue to lose our rights to fish for salmon. A simple regulation change would have also eliminated any sockeye bycatch by the rec sector. There's no will by DFO to open salmon fisheries it's all about the less eyes on the river and more nets/salmon for the FN. Funny how the media never reports this side of it.

Its funny how many times the media will report this ridiculous one sided view and have tribal casino ads on either side of the segment. Money talks

Fishery Guardian my butt

They roll up on me there getting the big FU

DFO should arrest and charge them with impersonating an officer

 

[halimark]

Want, want, want, want sick and tired of the constant want from that minority. The stewards of the land?? Or want more $$$$$. Seams every issue with FN that I have seen or been involved in goes away with $$$$$. Weird how that has been proven consistently with all my dealings with FN. Sacred dollar.. One day pendulum will swing back, get rid of UN and Trudeau. Stewards will have wiped out all fish by then.

Perhaps some netting photos should be sent to the writer (and her competition - along with the link to her article). In the interests of balanced 'journalism'.

meanwhile the fraser river fishermen is stuck fishing for pike minnows.

 

[Fishing?]

Seal cull and cottage industry set up for seal products and meat.
Immediate impact in salmon available for the Black Fish, Orcas'.
China would love seal skin products and meat. Or for animals.

If FF are so sure they are not infecting the wild stocks then they should agree to a 5 to 10 year moratorium with the caveat of free leases in return for a set period of time if proven correct. Although a seal cull will be more immediate, still .....

Both ideas DO NOT REQUIRE FEDERAL INTERVENTION the cessation of the seal hunt was provincial in 1986
Both could be instituted within one year.

In 2018, the top 20 anglers caught an average of 3,416 fish per angler and averaged reward payments of $28,723 each for the 5-month season. The highest paid angler in 2018 caught 8,686 fish and earned $71,049!

Title of the Thread says it all.
FNs want everything and more.......whats new?

Jason Tonelli is going to talk on CKNW’s Jill Bennette Show this Sunday at 8:17 AM about this topic.

 

[SerengetiGuide]

Kind of stuff we have to deal with.

 

[searun]

Actually your friends have it all wrong David, the way forward will be to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to manage the resource and use it wisely in a sustainable way. Giving "control" over fisheries management to one particular stakeholder is simply a recipe for disaster. We have a few examples of working together in Harvest Round Tables where all stakeholders sit around a table with the science facts from DFO and they make decisions around how fisheries will be run. The next logical evolution of that process would be to have those same stakeholders directly involved in determining the major fishery management policy decisions....how we manage hatchery production, repair or construct new habitat, protect sensitive habitats important to our fisheries, manage predators etc.
