Rod - what is the specific 20km of river the FRSA is proposing for closure?

[DanL]

Didnt the DFO state in other communications that they have essentially no authority to impose limitations on fishing methods and gear restrictions? It would then follow to wonder if they have the authority to close specific sections, and what landmarks would even define such sections?

[clarki]

I like the wording of "request", rather than the "demand" verbage of the earlier letter, and I appreciate the proposed compromise of the spot closure. Nice work, fellas.

I don't know about small areas but in looking at notices released going back a number of years, there was a time I think in 2011 (around the end of September) where they closed down a section of the Fraser because of coho till I think the end of the year.

Spot closures may reduce the overall volume of anglers participating in this method of fishing, but many will just go and search out new water to continue their practice of non-selective fishing in areas of non closure.
Such a closure will only lead to new trails being blazed, and Grandpa's machete will once again be un-sheathed.

Spot closures are nonsense. They won't stop BB-ing. They just makes it less effective. It will still be more massively easier than bar fishing.

I also disagree with spot closures. I like to bar fish near popular BB spots so this would affect me.

I do like spot closures , cuz u can`t bb in tidal and current conditions affect me .

The rec sector needs to be working with FN on issues we can mostly agree on. Fish farming and seal management could be a good start...and if we ever had any doubts see what footage Alex Morton got with 10 minutes on a pen...I ain't no biologist but one look at those farm fish and it isn't hard to tell that they are f...d up...lots of issues for wild fish but this can't be ignored and our sector should be pushing much harder to stop it...

Nonsense ? , I think your speaking nonsense . I believe the masses of flossers will give it up , however there will be a few bad apples out . Some will be tying their 5 foot leaders for the fall fishery .....................I'm all for spot closures . Not my first picnic as they say .Or second , on the Fraser .
Remember way back when, DFO requested to stay off Spaghetti bar ? . Started an anchoring frenzy there lol .

Nonsense right back at ya. Snagging is illegal, enforce the existing laws.

[skaha]

--Why doesn't the guide quota come out of a commercial rather than out of a recreational fishing quota... or at the least be added supernumery to the recreational quota.

agree , let`s start with artificial baits such as yarn lets make bait fishing only ... or gear like spoons/spinners ....

[Fish or cut bait.]
