And while we are on this topic, something I discovered last night was kind of troubling and amusing lol.

On Region 2's salmon regs, someone had taken out the following two clauses:

The daily limit for all species of Pacific salmon from tidal and fresh waters combined is 4. Individual species limits also apply.
The possession limit for all salmon from all waters is twice the daily limit. You cannot possess more than 8.

So I guess there isn't an aggregated daily limit for salmon and possession limit anymore?

Thanks Clarki.

My biggest beef when it comes to the current approach on the Lower Fraser coho opportunities is that we have to push and push to have that opening announced. Communication with resource management was great (new managers) last week and I was feeling energetic about it again, but as I dug more into it, questioning why chum opportunities are given while coho opportunities were not, it just stopped a few days ago

What I really want to see is as soon as that IFS window closes, we have a permanent opening dates given way in advance. There's no reason chum abundance should determine whether that coho fishery is a go or not in November. We have terminal coho fisheries when chum salmon is closed, what makes the Fraser different unless there are other factors which we are not being told. Advance opening dates would give anglers hope, make planning much easier, and make education much easier too...

For reference, non-tidal Fraser opened Nov 15 last year.

Thanks for your behind the scenes work, Rod!

lol... email has been working overtime since last week.

Ah! They responded to my email of this morning!

LOL!

Thanks Ralph. You are amazing!

 Good day out for me .
It was cold out there but the bit was on .
Lots of chum in the river spawning but also lots of Coho
Several people landing them out there
 Couldnt believe how much gravel has been extracted from the river .
 Several piles below the crossing , has made the river wider and deeper .

Man, tough crowd.

I’m glad it opened and SuperBobby is spared from committing an act of civil disobedience when no one is watching.

How nice of DFO to open the Fraser after the bulk of the run have moved through.

Ah! They responded to my email of this morning!

LOL!

come on Ralph, we all know they read MY comment criticizing them and announced the opening immediately. 

Thanks Rodney, for the update.

Thanks Ralph for the PM.
No need to draft that email.
