I think we need to change the point of view from "recreation fishing" to something like "sustainable harvest fishing". Maybe we will get more openings if we just change the wording. I'm not recreationally fishing. I'm fishing to have some fish to eat throughout the year.

Nice to know the one user group that’s still allowed to keep Chinook does it in the most unsustainable way imaginable. What a joke our country is turning into.

I’ve mentioned it before here.. I worked for a couple of years for cowichan FN and saw firsthand the massive piles of rotting salmon on reserves that were wasted. Thousands of chinook and sockeye. I was curtly told that’s it’s their right to get free salmon from the government even if they prefer to eat fast food and let the salmon rot. Stewards of the land my butt.
