Sockeye Closed????
« on: August 12, 2004, 09:05:39 PM »
I heard that sockeye are closed as of midnight but the FN get six more days.
 :o :o :o

Is this rumour true??

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?

Not likely. DFO usually gives couple of days notice.

nothing listed on DFO rec site yet
but i do expect it to be closed when the next major push comes through
also the cultus lake sockeye will be in soon
so look for designated area closings

I don't think they'll close it before Sunday midnight.  They've never shut it down unannounced before (that I can remember).  Let's hope they don't start something new. ::)

Didn't get any notices. The next expected Fraser River Panel will be on Friday, August 13th.  An update should be available in the afternoon. I believe that is when they will be making decisions on openings and closures for the late summer runs.

I heard a rumour that the Cheam FN were going to co-operate with DFO and enforce fishing regulations within their band ::)

Much like the Hell's Angels cooperating with the RCMP in curbing illegal grow ops. Not going to happen
