For those concerned about this listing after examining all the above links and wish to write a letter here is the address sararegistry@ec.gc.ca

If you wish to send by land mail as well it is, Peter Ferguson,policy coordination and Laison, Legislative and Regulation Affairs, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E6

One thing to keep in mind the last few years the sports anglers for the most part have been kept off these migrating Interior Coho already, in a red zone listing as these fish move up river. Rodney may know how many years but it must be around 8 as it was first brought in by the then Fisheries Minister Andersen. The red zone started in early September and went into October.

The bad part was some other sectors continued to fish these stocks and have contributed some in the decline of these stocks. As well the over drawdown of water from these fish's natal streams has had its impact as well.
