Went for a boat ride last night in the Vedder canal.
DFO was on the water.
No fish to report. Not a single roll scene in 3 hours.
Large presence of patrolling seals.

Sounds like DFO is more concerned about protecting a FN fishery than enforcing the regulations over at the Cap.

Most of the fishery on the Cap is FN aswell. Go down to the cable pool at anytime this week and I guarantee you will see multiple FN snaggers. Up to 7 of em pushing guys out of the spots and killing 50+ fish a day

I've been out three times now, and still haven't seen a single chinook roll, yet we've caught them on 2/3 trips out. Lots of sockeye flipping around, maybe more than I've ever seen on the Vedder. It does seem to depend on the day/location though, as tonight I only saw 1 roll.

Nets were out again today in the canal. I had heard they were done after the first 3 days out, but I guess that wasn't the case? Unfortunate to hear about the large presence of seals though - they are probably doing a lot more damage than the nets are!

No fish seen
2 FN gill nets set just above the confluence of the sumas
Many patrolling seals
No sign of DFO
