The Fraser River is at risk. Cattle ranching, agriculture, mining, forestry, and fishing impact the salmon and their habitat where they are most vulnerable; during the spawn and migration to the sea. I've pulled many fish from the water and am having a hard time these days justifying our relentless demand on the wild salmon to provide us with our livelihood and recreation at the expense of their lives. But that's just me. Hunting and killing wild animals for fun and profit just seems wrong nowadays. God I miss those days on the river with my old man.
