    They've been on that trajectory for a LONG time..... I helped work on the Thompson issue for years and it always fell to deaf ears in DFO and the GoC, one reason I gave that effort up. Its almost like they want to eradicate them so as not to spend any money on it. Also at this point no one in GoC and especially not Govt of BC under Whore-gan is going to interfere with FN,,,so IMHO its dead....

    Why the DFO hasn't stopped the netting or closed it completely is concerning.They will shut down a road to let a thousand frogs migrate but they will let a complete species suffer.I don't get it?

    A total shame IMO. Its been heading this way for years and really is sad, considering what it once was and what it did for the towns and people of the interior.

    There may have been some recreational fishers issues. There were attempts to stop the kill fishery and to stop the use of natural bait. Those that wanted to kill fish were very vocal and resisted. As usual the squeakiest wheel got the grease.
    It was not only native fishers gill netting the Fraser.

    There were definitely some recreational sport fishing issues. They all contributed to mortality in some way, however I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that they were the real demise of this run of fish though.
