Bait. Pink worms, fish them last and fast.

Indulging in Chinook salmon in cream sauce is a delightful culinary experience, especially when paired with homemade pasta noodles. For those who enjoy a bit of relaxation after a meal, immersing yourself in a game like Cookie Clicker can be a fun way to unwind. Combining gourmet meals with casual gaming creates the perfect atmosphere for a satisfying evening.

Yup. Just announced on Fred’s social media sites.

I haven't looked into it for a couple of years now but I Believe its its split into the ISBM and ASBM, Governed by the PST for Coho and chinook between US and Canada, ultimately though it falls to DFO to manage and the split % is put into the IFMP.

ISBM and ASBM Definitions

ISBM (Individual Stock-Based Management): This management approach focuses on the conservation and harvest of individual, specific salmon stocks within their native river systems or specific marine areas. The goal is to manage each population separately based on its unique status and abundance, often used for wild or specific local populations.

ASBM (Aggregate Abundance-Based Management): This method manages fisheries based on the total or aggregate abundance of several different salmon stocks mixed together in a large marine area. It uses combined data to set fishing limits, which can be a point of debate regarding the protection of weaker, individual stocks that might be caught incidentally.

The Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST) describes an Individual Stock Based Management (ISBM) fishery regime that is abundance-based and constrains to a numerical limit the total catch or the total adult equivalent mortality rate for specific stocks within a jurisdiction’s fisheries. ISBM management regimes apply to all Chinook salmon fisheries subject to the PST that are not AABM fisheries or terminal exclusion fisheries. Several fisheries within British Columbia (BC) are under ISBM fishery management and all PST fisheries south of the border between BC and Washington State are under ISBM fishery management.

Perhaps Wildman can correct me if I am in error, but as I understand the Salmon Allocation Plan does not specify the number of fish each sector gets, that's done in the Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP)issued early in each year. That's where the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) is set. Much of the current situation is driven by the Ahousaht ruling. They clearly want access to salmon particularly chinook. Irony is that much of that stock on the West Coast of the Island are fish from US hatcheries. The situation isn't much different in the Salish Sea/ Georgia Strait. Lots of those fish comes from US hatcheries. We still have troubled wild stocks in both regions. Very few chinook stocks on the south coast are in decent shape. Not that different for coho either.

You can look south of the border for an example of an allocation. Basically in Washington, Oregon and California the "Indians" get about 50%, which they can sell, everybody else gets the other half. That  has been set in stone for 40 to 50 years now. As far as I am concerned that was/is a pretty good deal versus the situation we live with now where we don't know what the sport sector may get out past 5 years or so.

One last point, wild or hatchery makes no difference, it's all part of the same pie which gets cut into 3 slices of varying size.

Its unclear how it would effect, hatchery terminal fisheries.

IT will probably be the same, but if commercial/FN intercepts higher in the ocean and mainstem then the fishing success may be lower.

With the high water and wet forecast is it safe to say the derby will be rescheduled?

Not reading all that AI slop posted above.

Realistically, how will this affect the regular fisherman joe like me, who likes to fish the local rivers (cap, halis, etc) and take a few fish per weekend home for food?

I have not actually tried these on the river yet because they were bought to try and get around the Dewdney Slough, hence the aggressive studs, but I wasn't ambitious enough to attack the mud after they arrived. There is an ankle strap that I didn't do up for the pic. I used the carbide tipped ones on the ice in Ontario and Quebec after their Ice Storm and they were great. I would have gotten the carbide ones for river banks but these were specifically for the mud. There are lots on Amazon and they are cheap.
