Am I missing something here?
I see fish being netted in the Fraser.
I can go to the mouth of the Fraser, area 29 and fish for Chinook.
Why can't I go and bar fish or cast a spoon in the Fraser for salmon?
I'm about to give up trying to make sense of DFO regulations.

If you cannot afford a big boat, do not fish salmon -- DFO

This whole situation really blows , I personally love fishing, I may not be any good at it, but this pink year would have been my first year fishing with my own vehicle. Its really frustrating to see how ignorant and ill informed the people in charge are. Do they not get the simple idea that fisheries are a system and that they should have a systems thinking mindset when approaching these problems. Im just going to wait a few more days and head on down to the river. these pink buzzbombs and crocs that I have been hoarding are eagerly awaiting a sockeye to bite it

Well, I'm fishing for Pinks. I dont wait 2 years for nothing. This year looks better than the last. We should start to see schools of them at the Sumas and Harrison mouths this weekend. I didnt spend $18,000 on a brand new jet sled for nothing. Pinks were part of the reason. Next week is on. When the chopper flys above my head when I'm within the boundaries of the Harrison and Summas, I'll make sure to give them a one finger salute

what are these numbers for , and where was it recorded !!!

[sockeyed]

There is a hydro acoustic station in mission that can estimate passage for Sockeye and Pinks. These numbers above are for pinks, at their peak in the first week of September you can expect upwards of 200,000 a day if it is a good run.

A friend of mine is sturgeon fishing today. He stopped by the Summas and a large school in the clear water. It's starting

[Hike_and_fish]

From the notice a few minutes ago

"In Canada potential commercial fisheries for Pink salmon are being considered with Sockeye non-retention restrictions if they are to proceed."

Hopefully a rec opening will follow. What do I know tho. Definitely not what Rod knows that's for sure.

7,400,000 Pinks. Estimate increased from 5 Million.

MY guess is they are going to down size it back to 5 million, test sets have really dropped of in recent days

They do every cycle. It'll climb fast.
