As per FlyingHigh's suggestion, I made a screen shot of this ad and emailed it to the COS people. The way the DFO is dealing with the steelhead debacle causes me to think sending it their way would be a waste of time.

Correct THUS the purchasers should stop then the sellers would have no reason to fish. But that won't happen. I recall a fellow I knew bitching that "Fraser river chicken" were $15. Bitched for weeks, still payed for poached fish!

Flag the ad in Craigslist, screen shot it and send it to the CO's and DFO.

Yup, if it's a First Nations member they're only allowed to harvest them for their and their families sustenance, not allowed to sell or barter..

I believe there was a court case some years back where the FN's argued that "traditionally" they would trade fish to other communities and thus should be allowed to sell them. Guess how the judge ruled.

I think you are correct.
It was a trading thing.
They were trading a fish for a purple piece of paper with the #10 on them.
I actually think it’s legal for Indians to sell fish now. “I think”
At the price of food, a lot of people will buy Indian fish this year.

Well, they could always be paid to NOT sell fish for cash. They pay drug addicts disability amounts so they steal a little less to feed their habits so why not? People that have enough income to finance their lifestyle are far less likely to participate in illegal activity.

or they can get a regular job?
theres no win in this, will just keep happening unless people stop buying them.

If you're buying them from fn, then you are part of the problem.

Just curious, is it a legal problem being in possesion of a bunch of these sockeye? Or is that overlooked as well?
