The migration of sockeye past the Mission hydro acoustic site has decreased
over the past week from a peak of 70,200 on August 1, 2013 to a low of 28,100
on August 5, 2013. Harvest in food, social and ceremonial fisheries conducted
in the lower Fraser River this past weekend would have resulted in some
reduction in the migration of fish past Mission.

i saw some in 2 big blue totes !

Let's see.  70,000 down to 28,000 so just over a 40,000 drop.  FN in the lower Fraser reported 17,600.  So, between unreported FN catches and sportsfishermen illegally keeping sockeye on the long weekend, could that account for over 20,000 fish?

How is this news up there anymore?  Seems like this happens every year.  I figured you guys just hoped the runs would be sufficient to make up for the severe underreporting/illegal catching every year.

Hope they keep it closed...

Go look over Bassonator's fence. I understand there's a significant run around there.

I saw Bassy's ad on Craigslist:

"Wanted Sockeye, must be able to deliver over my fence."

Some interesting research that some folks might want to read:

That should be required reading for all anglers clamouring for a sockeye opening on the Fraser River this summer.

Will not happen.

This is probably a worthwhile read as well and probably a little more relevant as it was conducted on the Fraser. http://www.thinksalmon.com/reports/2011_Fraser_River_Sockeye_CR_Study_(Final_copy).pdf
