I just to point out the forecast of 19 fish is based on the assumption that 1 steelhead was caught in all the in river test fisheries. Usually it is based on the Albion test fishery. One fish was caught in August at Brownsville. August would be very early for a Thompson or Chilcotin and no one actually examined the fish. It could have been from one of the coastal summer run streams in the Hope area.

their was also one in whonnock. There is definitely ifs in the Fraser in August. There was a picture of one late August pulled out of a bet by a co in lillooet a few years back.

He one steelhead on August 29th and Brownsville falls within the migration timing of the chilcotin stocks. Plus over the years DFO has seine netted steelhead at Martel on the Thompson in early September when doing sockeye work. One other thing to note is the peak migration month for steelhead at one time was August. Before the 1960's all fish including steelhead where turned into the canneries and the month of August showed the highest catch rate. One needs to pull up commercial catch statistics from the 1950's to see this.

the actual forecast is less than 19 fish if one reads the report closely. Also less than 9 fish for the chilcotin.
After the Fall of 2021 atmospheric river event I can't see how this should be a surprise to anyone. How many smolt/fry does anyone think survived that event on the Coldwater/Nicola system besides Bonaparte and Deadman? I never paid attention to the Chilcotin that fall so unsure if it would have greatly affected that river also

A major shift in conscience needs to happen before things get better, and that takes time. Things could change faster if people stop doing things that maintain the illusion of having a choice or a free society. Voting is one these things. I had a period of not voting for I do not want to prop up the illusion, give it credit of legitimacy. I caved this last election and went to vote for PPC - a party in an informational blackout. You want things to change? Don't prop the illusion!

Wow.. This is just Heartbreaking

I used marine grade Goop in the past.  Worked great.  I bought the big tube (for a caulking gun) from Canadian Tire, and used the whole thing for a pair of boots.

LOL Bobby, if you weren't so hilariously laughable I would feel sad for you! 

Keep your chin up! The world may have a sh*t load of problems but things will be ok in the long run.

I have Chilcotin 9' 6" 2 piece #5 and AETOS 4pc 9' 6#   both with tubes: never used.

Expedition 9' 5# 2 piece spooled with Kamloops reel, slightly used, mint condition.

By and large I don't care and have no interest in what or how many sources you provide. I have much the same feeling in your opinions. To me they are all basically worthless. IMO you rely on crap knowledge and sources.

As to Carney's qualifications to be PM, that's another matter. The proof will be in the pudding as they say. However it's clear this guy does not walk on water. A metaphor you should appreciate.

I can't even find a meme anywhere to depict you.

Look, I know you are an old stale man with very few years left, and perhaps that is why you don't care about the future of Canada....or much of anything other than your own comfort.
I would never wish ill on anyone, but I do hope you live for another 20 years+ because in 20 years, when the government/Natives have taken your private property you paid for, your pension and every other form of private property that you earned and worked hard for that you thought you would just so easily pass down to your family line......even YOU will then realize.... the folly of the path taken in Canada that you so strongly supported.
