How much is too much
« on: August 20, 2006, 12:04:31 PM »
After reading about how many sockeye people are getting I was inspired to ask this question. Myself I keep no more than 20 salmon a year. Half are smoked and half are BBQ'd/Cooked. I do not keep fish to give away as I dont feel its right. I never have left over salmon from previous years so I never waste what I catch. I also keep a few trout but nothing much.

Eddie99,
 Good question. A number of anglers are doing 3-4 trips / day.

I think part of the issue with sockeye is that people think to themselves "there's 17 million, if I dont get 20 or 30 the natives will just take them".  Personally I would like to see a limit of 10-15 sockeye per year and if you are tagged on sox NO MORE FLOSSING THE FRASER.  I think that would certainly thin out the crowds and it may help change the mentality we currently all suffer from.
