In the 41 present days of Sockeye retention on the non-tidal portion of the Fraser how many sockeye have you retained??

0-10 I was busy most of the season or using the wrong colour wool.
- 73 (59.8%)
11-20 I got out a few times when I could but those damn commercial fisherman scooped them all up.
- 23 (18.9%)
21-30 I went out a number of times and fishing was fairly decent...I was dialed in with my corkie and wool colour combos.
- 13 (10.7%)
31-40 I went out and caught my fish almost everytime they started calling me "Sockeye Hero"
- 6 (4.9%)
41+ Sockeye....I was basically a single stranded gillnet out there...everytime I cast I caught a sockeye!!
- 7 (5.7%)

Fished elsewhere during the sockeye opening and had a lot of the rivers to myself! No complaints here.

Or, you know, the option to simply not respond to a thread about catching sockeye?

Instead of trying to play the holier than though role on the internet.
