This could prove to be very interesting.
These are mixed stocks and are all over, remember Thompson Coho?

Yeah, we could end up with MORE selective closures on various rivers.  Less and less opportunities, more and more people = Zoo when things are open :(

Columbia runs in most part through the U.S. so they have to help and we know that may not happen.
These fish go throughout all the waters of B.C. so the salt water fishery is the one that may get hit, or not.
Should prove interesting to see if anything happens at all.due to all the politics, mabey nothing will.
