Any idea how many more openings the commies are going to get for their pogey hours at this point with the returns falling around the p25 mark?

returns are at the p25 mark? From what I have seen they have been p50 or better.

No idea how many more openings. The biggest component, the Adams River run, has yet to arrive in big numbers. I would guess another next week and perhaps after Labour Day, depending on how concern for interior Coho get factored into the decision.

Maybe I missed something here but I see no deviation from what they normally say every Tuesday or Thursday.

I remeber reading in one announcement that there is no change to the predicted number and that the Adam's run is staging now. I know U would love to see a rec extension past Sept 3rd for one week. But, to be honest I'm getting tired of cleaning fish everyday and my wifes patients are wearing thin.

Try feeding your wifes patients some of the fish you've been catching and they should improve. You don't have to go and kill everyday.  ::)

Well , by the sounds of it your storing enough socks to last you till the next cycle  ;) . Eat fish , drink and stay thirsty my friends  ;D .Realistically , you got about six months to pound all that sockeye down . After that they will taste like farmed crap  :o ;D ;D ;D ;D.

This is just a statement to end any possible extension to the opening on Tuesday.  There will be an opening next week.

I thought today would have been awful but sheer luck and the right spot two of us limited in an hour and half this AM.
That's the way it goes sometimes.... yesterday, a bad day, I was (the first) off the bar with my limit in under a couple of hours with not much else going on all around me, and today, 4 hours nets me 1... very slow this morning.

They already warned of a possible extension, and the way things are going this season....its basically a sure thing....question is how long the extension will be.

Wow....I don't mind being wrong on this sort of thing....but its rare to see the commercials not get this sort of thing.

I was also surprised to see this was the only opening this week.  Of course, they could still announce an opening for Friday that screws up our whole weekend.

The Fraser River Sport Fishery is pretty small in the scheme of things. As far as sport fishing goes the saltwater is the big event. FNs and commercial pull more weight yet. I don't think the PSC and DFO will worry too much about impacting a long weekends fishing if they think there is a window for a net fishery. If you consider the political aspect, the Liberals know they can't win most of the valley ridings and the Conservatives kow they can't lose.
