They should leave the acoustic counter in and use it to enumerate fish. Between that site and the albian test could figure out how many fish going missing in between.

you don't think some turn right at Lytton and swim up the Thompson?

I also think a 'test' fishery and an acoustic counter will produce different numbers. Maybe your way they will actually be fish added between Albion and the slide

I hope governments don't drag their feet on this like they did with the Seymour slide

I think we will see an Election time response to this and a touted win on salmon come october.

So here are the NEW salmon openings for this year.

Aboriginal Fisheries have unlimited quota on sockeye and chinook until further notice because they can't get past the slide and will die anyway.
Commercial and Recreational fisheries are 100% closed until further notice because we need as many sockeye and chinook as possible to make it past the slide.

Laugh all you want....but that is how the pinheads in DFO will explain their decision making process.

In the video did you see the salmon jumping?

I was wondering if they could pick up fishes with a similar net they use for fire fighting.  They could drop the net below the fall and release it above with choppers.  Or is that too pricey for the DFO

No

[clarki]

No

But how about the net they use for badminton? Wouldn't that work?

Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Government of British Columbia to provide further updates on the Big Bar Landslide

Vancouver, B.C. – Officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Province of British Columbia as well as a representative from the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance will to provide further updates and answer questions regarding a significant rock slide that occurred upstream of a narrow portion of the Fraser River near Big Bar.  The obstruction raises concerns about whether salmon migrating upstream can reach their spawning grounds.

Date:             Friday, July 5, 2019
Time:             4:00 – 4:30 pm (Pacific)

It would work better than "a similar net they use for fire fighting".

[CohoJake]

It would work better than "a similar net they use for fire fighting".

My vote is salmon cannon.

I have a retired American fishing buddy that will drop some dynamite in there and clear those Rapids.
