This seems to be circulating quite a bit on FB

Yup can't see anything as it is a closed group. Thank god eh? Once more we escape exposure to the moral outrage.
-
No escaping this Ralph. I think this one might get people talking about this chum fishery and the damage it is doing.
Pay FN to stay off the water at critical times if that's what it takes, but end this disgrace.

Every year the Chum fishing gets worse as well. I can remeber a time when the Stave and Harrison was boiling.

Dave occasionally you write stuff verging on the delusional. I am not the apologist for anyone, FNs or otherwise. The attempts by some to make me so is bullying bullcrap. Most of these people have been placed on my ignore list.
That aside thanks for the one somewhat positive suggestion on how to deal with it. Paying them not to fish is not a bad idea. That's what's been done in some cases with Atlantic Salmon fisheries. Most of of the rest is the usual male s&m rage-o-holic spasm. It achieves nothing & likely makes things worse.
It's worth noting that by-catch and waste is a problem with almost every commercial fishery. The Fraser fishery is primarily that. I checked out the PSC 'test' fisheries. It caught close to 1/4 million fish this year. To acheive that by-catch on various species was about 11% of the total.
When I see photos like these I see lost spawning escapement, lost food value (last year I suggested fresh by-catch could be given to food banks & got ridiculed for that) and lost money. Those fish have some value some.
People need to DFO, the SFAB, the FVSS, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and your various politicians. Posting photos of it, having the usual rage fest achieves nothing.

Again, escape was your word, but perhaps I misunderstood the context. I think you are wrong regarding posting photos of this fishery - these particular pictures have been broadcast widely, and I do believe it will get people talking. Perhaps even people who make decisions.
-
Suggesting that beach seine by catch should go to food banks rather then back into water the intended purpose of using a beach seine is a bit odd.
Sockeye is First Nations perfected choice according to the Supreme Court decision with sparrow.
In abundant years like these for sockeye their does not need to be directed fsc on other stocks.

100% agree.
Ralph lives in another reality. One that I want no part of.

Glad you stopped by to let us know :D
Back on topic, paying FN not to fish sounds like an idea worth investigating. I'd support it, especially so if it avoided netting during steelhead migration periods.

So you mean to say that you participate on a fishing forum, but only interact with 10% of the members....Sounds about right for you.

Well it can come out of your paycheck then, but not mine. Why should we have to pay a special interest group tax payers dollars as a way to get them to play by the rules of conservation? The logic around here is sometimes unreal. Its no wonder this world is the way it is.
-
The dfo just needs to grow a pair and tell them they're not fishing. The courts have already ruled conservation trumps all this is a conservation closer.

The thing to remember is a lot of time they are allowing in river FSC fisheries is because they are also allowing recreational and commercial fishermen to target these same stocks in the ocean.
For example their is also an ocean chum fishery in Johnston straight happening right now where some steelhead and other stocks of concern will also be intercepted.

When did this Chim roe fishery begin ? Has it always been going on ? Is this a new thing maybe over the last 15 years ? I certainly have seen the Coho and Chum fishing taper over the last 15 years

Close recreational fishing and open gill net. Good job DFO!
