I would think the saltwater sports guys will get the available TAC long before any in river fishery happens.

There's a guy near Fraser Hwy and 264 ave that sells sockeye from the Port Alberni fishery (legal).

One would think they would give a salt water fishery before fresh, but somehow I don't think they will open the lower Fraser. Most likely at best would be mouth of the Fraser.

There was a weekend opening for the Adams run in '22 and that's the last opening above Mission I can recall. Can't recall an opening for any other than the Admas run in the last 10+ years. Sockeye openings below Mission are pointless since they all but impossible to catch except in a few locations where they school and hold and are caught by snaggers. They can be caught in saltwater so there is a chance of an opening there.
