Who said I hooked 20 sockeye after my limit...thats how many I had hooked until I got my limit.... don't blame me I was only 9 at the time,....

[Gooey]

Hey Mike, no offense was meant....i was just trying to make a simple point: lets not abuse the fraser river floss fishery. 

With stronger stocks and cooler river temps back then, maybe a few catch and released socs WAS OK, but now a days with fragile stocks and warm water....I don't think catch and release is an option for these long haul fish (socs or springs).

I saw guys out at peg leg after sockeye season.  I was there for a spring as I had 5 or 6 on the tag.  To my DISGUST  they had tagged out before sockeye even ended!!!! there were doin catch and release on springs...socs...a coho...etc. 

Thats the last trip I made to the fraser out side of a sockeye opening.  Its crap like that we need to avoid.

I believe Jones = Laidlaw

laidlaw ya or w/e it is.. go past chilliwack on your way to hope. there will be a sign that says jones/laidlaw. take it then turn left underneath the overpass.. There should be a bunch of cars, walk through the trees, cross the little runoff area and walk toward the river. then see the massive crowds.

If there were nets in that River..what EXACTLY DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?

DID YOU CALL THE POLICE---RCMP?

DID OBSERVE, RECORD AND REPORT>>?

DID YOU DO YOUR JOB AS A GOOD CITIZEN?

[miketheflyguy]

I believe the FA had an opening the other day as I saw 2 drift boats and 6 in the water...when I went over the Rosedal bridge... that isn't a good place to be doing any illegal actions either...if you know what I mean....

^ FIRST U BRING P THE NET. RELEASE THE FISH IF THERE'S NE IN IT, CUT THEIR NET, AND GIVE THEM THE FINGER !

[Randog]

Its a meet fishery - virtualy ZERO sport: heavy gear and no playing a fish out because of the crowds...

Once you have your limit...pac it in please!  The fish counters on all the bars are looking for that and if they hear of a lot of "hooked" and released sockeye, that will be more ammo to shut down the fraser to flossing.

Gooey, I could'nt have said it better myself, if people start to accept this fishery for what it is "a meat fishery" (harvest), I hope this sockeye flossing debate might end.  I don't wish to start the flossing debate again this year.

[scalper66]

is laidlaw good for bar or bb? or both

[scalper66]

also how does one get to scale bar?

[fisher88]

never seen a soul bar fish at laidlaw.. BB is good i guess. It seems people on the fraser are like fish. They follow each other in schools. They dont seem to spread and go to quite parts (unless they are smart).
