This too will be blamed on the NDP. It's meant to be a joke, but not really.....
The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.
weird huh?
Did anyone take time find out the reasoning by DFO?
Dear Members,
On June 15, 2017, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) arbitrarily closed the Skeena River to recreational salmon fishing, while allowing ocean harvest and First Nations fisheries. Originally DFO had advised that Skeena closures would be due to low salmon abundance.
On June 23 the DFO informed Vancouver Sun reporter Gordon Hoegstra that the fisheries were closed due to potential conflict between First Nations fishing nets and recreational anglers.
Please add your voice using this draft letter to the Minister calling for fair treatment for resident food fisheries. The Federation calls on Minister LeBlanc to reserve this decision and retain fair access to the resource for all Canadians. We will continue to stand up for the rights of resident anglers to fish for food.
Download the letter here.

If anyone gets Noel Gygers emails you can access lots of information ...Some of which is the current and past test fisheries.....These show a very disturbing low number of fish returning to the Skeena River..Any idiot can see that the fishery is in trouble..Causes are many ....too many to list or argue about but ...Don't count on good fishing for awhile ...Dennis

DFO management is not the issue. Global warming contributing to declining salmon runs - what can they do? Also, closing ocean fisheries (where in a lot of cases only a very small percentage of the catch may be heading for the river in trouble) might make you feel good, but it doesn't get the job done, and causes all kinds of disruption to the ocean fishery, including all three sectors.
