Re: DFO Buried Scientists Concerns Regarding Steelhead
What a good start would be is for all stakeholders Native, Sports and commercial all getting together and working with a common goal of saving the Thompson River steelhead, or a total closure for EVERYONE will be put in place. If you can't work as one especially with First Nations the steelhead are doomed if it's not too late already.

Re: DFO Buried Scientists Concerns Regarding Steelhead
IMHO until there is valid control of all user groups and a sustainable management plan that includes an aggressive stocking program, these stocks are doomed.

One of my favorites is Steelhead. And that fishery (on the Skeena) was taken away from me years ago. Why? Not because of a science based decision. The Steelhead science based decisions in this province is sickening comparable to the Grizzly hunt in my opinion.
Re: DFO Buried Scientists Concerns Regarding Steelhead
Keta I agree 100%....the Thompson should be a complete closure from Sept 20 on. The spey guys still.up.tjere just before it closes is ****ed. They know what they are targeting. Still.need a hero shot with a the most endangered steelhead in BC.
The last thing we need on the skeena is a kill fishery for steelhead. If you want to eat steelhead you have got year round opportunities to.kill hatchery steelhead. Why do you need to eat a wild one?

“One of the things we agreed upon was that we would look to direct our officials to work in collaborative ways going forward to ensure that there is no finger-pointing between the federal government and the province,” said Wilkinson.

Seems the feds are more concerned about saving face than any real accountability or progress that might help in these matters...
