Is there any figures on the catch results of these fisheries?
Is there any figures on the catch results of these fisheries?
The government listed results would suggest that these 41 openings have produced less than two dozen springs total. Witnesses report more than that in a single drift just a short time ago. Under reporting and non-compliance has always been an issue. Under the stress of today, it appears to have gotten much worse (intentionally I believe).

Victor says salmon was once so abundant, there would be three or four fish barbeques in the community every weekend throughout summer.
And they wonder where the fish went??
“I can tell you, our value on the fish is much more than any recreational or commercial fish they catch,” he said.
So the fish sold roadside out of the back of a truck is more valuable than troll or recreational caught? Really??
But if they catch one fish that’s Fraser-bound, that’s enough. You compromise the constitutional priority, in my mind.”
Locked down the entire South Coast damn near, while recognizing the majority of those fisheries had no impact.
Under threat that they would fish the stocks of concern into extinction should they not get their way.
And now whine for even more...
Victor says that to uphold constitutional priority, DFO shouldn’t allow any fisheries, catch-and-release or otherwise, until after Indigenous fisheries have theirs.
He also says that Canada should consider giving control of commercial fishing to Indigenous Peoples, who have fished the same populations for millennia.
Bottom Line: We want it ALL, and we want it NOW!

Those numbers are the ones reported. Since even the department acknowledges serious under reporting and non-compliance, what are they actually??

Unfortunately due to mechanical difficulties (damn front differential) I was unable to attend today's scheduled meeting with Conservative MP Calkins (Federal Standing Committee on Fisheries) & Staff.
However two of our Directors did make it there.They both suggested the discussions were very positive, and that Blaine was both attentive and supportive.They also noted that he still requires some additional education regarding fisheries matters in BC, but was quick to grasp what they laid out in that regard for him.
I believe we both have an ally in MP Calkins. I will be following up directly with him in the next couple of days as a consequence. Although it was disappointing MP Doherty could not make this trip, his schedule at this point simply precluded that. I will be following up with Doherty in the next few days as well.
Overall the impression was that there is genuine concern, and a willingness to work with both the recreational and commercial troll sector in moving forward. Hell of a different impression than Wilkinson and the lieberals have left us with.
On the related matter, the so-called Impact Study has been settled - frankly it does not exist. I will be following up on that issue as it is a rather serious offense of lying to a government committee by Department of Fisheries and Oceans Paul Gillis, Director General, Strategic Policy.

The fishing restrictions imposed by the federal Fisheries Department this spring has already had a devastating effect on businesses, according to a survey conducted by the Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce.

Why don't they just open it? The starving killer whales are not in the JdF. A few phone calls and an announcement and it's done. . . . Oh yeah, we're not talking about the private sector.

Mine have been up since April 16/19 NOG.
Hard to believe how poorly this outfit has mismanaged our Coastlines. Yet it continues year after year.
