    I never bought fish from the natives and pulled countless dead fish and nets from the Chilliwack river.
    Made countless reports to the Fisheries and CO service.
    Nobody among the powers at be cares.
    Why should I.
    I could bark up the wrong tree like the rest of the good folk above, but I won't.
    The bottom line is, if one day someone tells me I can't fish, but someone else can fish for commercial purposes, I will continue to fish.

    The salmon bearing rivers have been netted forever. Once the rivers run dry of salmon, smaller mesh nets will be used to scoop up the Trout, bass, Whitefish and Char. Once there are no more salmon to be sold, people will line up to buy whatever is available. This netting activity won't stop - who will stop them - there is no mechanism in Government to stop this. I'm not saying we just give up hope trying to stop this but let's be serious - it's hands off.

    Any land around salmon bearing waters are likey to be handed over in the next phase of Liberal landmass handovers. Mark my words, there will soon come a time when we'll be crying for the Americans to come buy out BC to put an end to this land handover. But then again, see what they did last year or the year before with the Colville or Okanagan bands just south of our border - giving the natives the ability to freely take game on either side of the 49th.

    Guessing this is the price we get to pay for allowing free passage highways, rail, pipelines and Hydro lines to cross the Province and Country.

    For a People that claim to be under-educated (for the most part although, there are brilliant people in all walks of life) they sure can kick the crap out of our Government, Leaders and Officials when it comes to any form of negotiations. Yet we keep voting in the same Government despite all their wrong doing.

    I'm not sure we have the right to complain so much. I can only cast one vote.

    Agreed.
    We have learned jack shit from the Newfie cod fishery collapse.
    I happen to think the faster we hit the bottom the faster we can start with intelligent conversations about recovery.
    Net them all away, I say!

    Bloody Hell ! Sorry but I feel as though the generation before mine had really good fishing and hunting and now it’s going downhill due to many factors . Where the hell is the will to change things for the better ? Should have been out there hunting and fishing instead of blowing my youth .Rant over !

    DFO officers lay charges, clear illegal nets and do their job. Its the justice system and crown counsel that sweep the charges under the rug. That is the sickening part.

    The nets are right across the entire river as of Sunday, the fish don't stand a chance.. So in the end, the natives get a shiet load of fish, and for what, they aren't going to eat it all, it's just the non-natives buying it! If people would stop buying it, the DFO grow a set and come down on the natives with charges that stick as well as selling the fish maybe, just maybe they may stand a better chance!
