Fraser Springs low return
« on: June 20, 2011, 03:00:56 PM »
looking at the test fishery in the fraser from may 21 till  june 20 only 11 springs have been caught. same period last year 81 caught. is this due to high water levels or poor run,late run .

Probably due to high water which always skews Albion test fishery data, and the predicted low returns.  Check out Chris Gadsden's post in Fisheries related topics.

I agree, how do you find the fish when the water is that high?

You can look at the albion but you can also look at the first nations

It is a little early for the first nations catches.
