and what is different than any other year? I hate to say it but it would be wise to give all commercial licences to FN. no more nets in the river and they could have all the food fish they need. I would bet that they would then lease out the licences because they would not find enough of their own people to fish them.
That's actually not a bad idea, Doug.
Steelheader1, right now it's a harvest and there are way too many fish coming than needed for an optimal escapement to sustain the numbers. I agree, we need to be concerned about Wild Thompson Coho and Steelhead, but another week or so of this opening shouldn't have a huge impact. I don't floss Sockeye because I can't justify the three hour drive and 100 bucks in gas for two fish that I can buy for 30-40 bucks. If I lived in Chilliwack, you bet I would be going after them.
