Has Fisheries put out any numbers?
did the fish enter the Fraser?
what about the hatcheries,were their returns below normal?
this is without a doubt the worst year for me (coho),including my very first year in 1984.23 hrs of fishing for 2 clean hatchery coho and one nots so clean unclipped on the Chiliwack/Vedder
6 hrs on the Chehalis for zip.

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

If you care about Canada's future, get involved by holding your MLA's & MP's accountable!! don't just be sheep!!

Put me on the 'worst coho fishing ever' list.

I certainly did not put in as much time as I could, but all the same, dismal results.

Not too pumped about going to the Chehalis.

Looked at my book, 1999, 2000 and 2001 was a good coho year in the Chehalis.

What's up? Even though there are lots of nets out there, there isnt much more then what used to be beyond more blatent illegal netting.  I think the fish numbers are getting low and regulations are not being modifided to meet the dwindling numbers.  Im wondering if lower quotas and much harder stands on drift netting might be important to keep it sustainable.

Sorry to hijack!

I have a right to fish and a responsibility to treat this right as a privilege.

Ethics is your actions and behaviour when no one is watching.

A problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?

I'm having a pretty good coho year. But what do you expect when you don't have a job and get to fish 3 or more time a week  ;D

Actually I live about 5 minutes walking from the north saskatchewan river. I've never bothered to fish there even though I have a bunch of fishing stuff up there. Maybe I should give it a whirl this spring.
