Several hundred recreational snaggers at Scale, Peg-Leg and other Fraser bars flogging the river with 15-20 foot leaders are a much more disturbing sight than what can be seen in this video.
At least the FN harvesters do not pretend to be 'anglers'. :D

Why does a native fishing thread have to be turned into a flossing thread?    ???

On topic, I find it fascinating watching them do something they have probably done in that spot for 100's of years!

Hmmm.... don't look anything out of ordinary for commercial fishing.

Oh wow couple hundred bucks spending money there. . . and the single rod anglers who fish 100 percent for eating get all the blame. The entire sockeye fishery just needs to be shut down, all it seems to do is bring major controversy.
