    The DFO and those who dictate their "direction" should be taken to court to answer for their collective mismanagement for one of the best fisheries in the world.

    Remember the Atlantic Cod when you think about the Pacific Salmon a few years from now....

    F***ink disgraceful!!

    Hope you took a few pictures and reported that.

    There are NO current openings for legitimate commercial troll, nor the preferred pets of DFO at this time whatsoever!

    Did you happen to notice what and how their gear was deployed? Actually trolling with the lines / pigs (floats) out?

    UnReal!

    Yeah they might have been shrimpers.
    We messed up a few Gorbys when we were shrimping in the ditch. They'd come blasting out of Ukie and see all these commercial boats going back and forth and think "whoa, this must be where the FISH are at!" and throw their gear in the water. First of all we're TRAWLING, not trolling and second, I've got a quarter mile of rope behind me. Oh you think you're gonna tack across my stern with a bunch of troll gear? Heh. Got quite a few flashers and hoochies that year.

    A little slow out of the gate, but finally a report of some nature:

    Unfortunately the Minister and his government could not care any less.

    Commercial fishing: Commercial troll fisheries for Chinook will be closed until August 20 in Northern BC, and August 1st on the West Coast of Vancouver Island to avoid impacting Fraser Chinook stocks and to support conservation priorities.
    Hmmm no mention of all the nets in the river when the salmon are heading for the spawning grounds.

    There are actually three segments of Jill Bennett's CKNW show that pertain to this matter:

    Jason Benelli speaking in regard to the development of the situation, and the impacts on the recreational sector:

    https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-va...UiMt5k96Cwu3kc


    Jason Tonelli - July 6, 8:00 am, 15:20 time stamp

    Minster Wilkinson's response wherein he publicly and on record LIES about the FN openings in the Fraser - simply said there have been none. DFO's own website indicates 94 in river FN gillnet openings since the restrictions were imposed (representing an effort of 587 gillnet days).
    In typical politico diversion, he also refuses to answer several of the pointed questions, and deflects to other topics (just like his boss).


    https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-va...UiMt5k96Cwu3kc

    Wilkinson's Response: July 7, 7:00 am, 06:00 time stamp

    Finally an open call-in session on the same topic:

    https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-va...UiMt5k96Cwu3kc


    Call / write in: July 7, 8:00 am, 33:20 time stamp

    Worth a listen if this subject is of interest.

    Re: Draconian Fisheries Closures

    I couldn't believe how many times Wilkinson said there are no openings on the Fraser for FN.... lying piece of sh*t!!

    Jason is well spoken and addresses the issues very well. He's a great guy. I've fished with him numerous times when he guided up north and we've had some really good conversations. I'm glad he is speaking up!

    Shame on the DFO, Wilkinson, and the leaders of the federal liberals!
