where is the BCWF when this is going on?
The BCWF is a non-entity that seems only concerned with getting along with the bureaucrats as a means to an end. This has been going on for quite some time now. Too many people involved with consulting companies hoping to cash in.
Perhaps the recent change in chairmanship will give 'em some balls … we'll see.
The Indians have a commercial troller working Kitty Coleman beach. Theyhave been reported and no one has showed up yet!!!!
Nor will they...the liberals appear to be quite happy to sacrifice the recreational salmon industry in order to promote their ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ agenda,costs them nothing
got to thinking ,and chatting with a local fishing column writer, one solution for FN harvesting salmon might be what they do in Alaska-fish wheels that allow them to release unharmed non targeted species.But one thing is certain, if there are going to be fish to harvest by FN or everybody else,the whole process needs to be renegotiated with conservation ,not ‘rights’ being the guiding principle.I have no issue with subsistence harvesting,I have a big issue with selling salmon.Reasonable quotas for subsistence need to be in place based on actual consumption,not selling fish.10 or 20 Chinook per person annually is a lot of salmon to eat.Nobody can eat hundreds of fish...
This post is for any that suggest the FN's have a "right" to these endangered fish.
They do not.
Conservation trumps all (or is supposed to).
NO FN has the so-called right to fish any run into extinction.
And NO government has any call openly supporting them to do so.
What we are witnessing now is a complete travesty on both parts!
Any that wish to educate themselves as to just how low some of the numbers are, have a read:

This situation is just straight up BS and the more I read your up dates Nog the more disgusted with DFO and the govt
This is not about conservation
In my opinion it was just a politically correct easy fix for a long standing problem for which the Liberals wil take credit that cost them nothing.Watch for Justin’s smiling face in a photo op on the election trail
Ok everyone with a boat that fishes In this area ^^^^ Needs to get out there take video, phone DFO the cops ect and tell them there will be a confrontation if they don’t get their assses out there ASAP. Phone all news channels, ect this is a BC problem **** the feds.
Or we all just go fishing, ASWELL and tell them the DFO to shove their fines up their asses! Pretty hard to police if we all just say **** it ?
Nothing is about conservation anymore … it's all about who can spin the best bullshit! People should realize where this has come from though.
This has a lot to do with all the false prophets pushing their own agenda with chicken little fearmongering and the like-minded bureaucrats who lick their butts. Sierra Club, SPCA, Steelhead Society, WWF, Bear-Viewing Companies, etc … You all should be proud!!
The Indians are just taking advantage of all the phoney conservation tactics of the aforementioned.
