CHINOOK measures for the future

[Hardy Guy]

Pay attention. It's been mentioned that new chinook measures may be coming to reduce impacts on Fraser 5/2 stocks. It was mentioned at the SFAB meeting. Fraser river FN want impacts reduced further and dfo will be considering options and consulting. Reducing impacts could mean reduced opportunities for non threatened stocks including marked hatchery fish.

The latest study on recreation mortalities won't help.

Pay attention. I've been around enough to know what this could mean.

The biggest exploitation on the 5-2's is FN's by a huge margin

 

[Hardy Guy]

I know that but I don't think that will matter. I'm just giving a heads up.

 

[wildmanyeah]

were already closed till september first, there's no juice left to squeeze

 

[Hardy Guy]

There are other parts of the coast. I hope I'm wrong but it was mentioned at the meeting.

I have not seen the data from this year, but i believe last year they were held up due to high water and were over exploited by first nations in the river.

There is nothing to gain by further restrictions of rec fishing but its not like it matters they will do what ever they want

This was from last year

not really anything left to squeese out of us this is data from 2019-21 the 22-23 data ive seen we were even less with first nations as high as 17%.

these fish met escapement numbers this year for sure. And last year no? data doesn’t support restrictions is the key to push not that it matters to libs. Need election in spring and cons get in

 

[Dale66]

already a thread on this too

Better cancel those early season gillnet openings for FSC

 

[Hardy Guy]

That will not happen SH.

I rest my case. Next! What else can I help with lol

Zero high water the last few freshets, we didnt even break 9m at Hope the last two years . Perfect conditions for upstream migration even with the Big Bar issues.

The main threat with the 5-2s has been the netting in the river and the increasing amount of seals.

Until these issues are fixed, you will see the same results.
