How about pro let's let our citizens and licence holders go get a fish.
Or at least try. Sounds like a good day to me
Steer away from the orcas of course

Yeah they actually are stating publicly on the Salish Sea Orca FB page that fish mortality is 50% from some study at UBC which is complete
lie. Then when questioned they strat going on that all fish hatcheries should close down. Personally they are all over the place with this one.
Interesting though I have been told that these petitions really have little weight on the decision. The only thing though is Suzuki does have the ministers ear so we need to be aware of that.
We pretty much know who the charter operations pushing for these openings came from. The funny thing again is it wasn't charters "Secondary" that were pushing for it. It was general public. The "Primary" ones.

sure at the local DFO level they will recommend to the minister to accept the proposals as they are low risk. But make no mistake our minister is an activist and has a track record of not accepting DFO science and staffs advice.
Then there is local first nation advice, I have not seen what they have said about the proposals but if there is some support from them that would help immensely.

Had to laugh at this one this morning in Watershed Watch FB page. I love the many of us are avid anglers statement click bait wording.
Watershed Watch supports thriving wild salmon runs and the fishing opportunities they provide. Many of us are avid recreational fishers who love bringing fish home to our families. To ensure future generations have these same opportunities, we must take a precautionary approach when opening new fisheries, to protect endangered salmon runs. For these reasons, we are asking the Fisheries Minister to invest more time to assess and consult on proposed fisheries that will kill endangered Fraser River Chinook.

That is the most phony statement ever. They try to propagate such misinformation such as 50% mortality on catch and release!

Agreed when released properly ,
but when guys post photo's of there catch hold the salmon for a photo op and after taking a group photo. shooting the fish like a torpedo back into the wild you can see where this false info comes from.
Many guys on this forum have defended this practice, BUT
Like I have said, some fishers are are own worse enemy!

No sure if you can open this YouTube video, but it's common practice and has been defended by members of this forum.

There's been a recent catch and release study done by UBC. Survival numbers were quite good. I think that many anglers have improved their fish handling skills with education out there. We all want to see our salmon survive when we release them. Many of us are now using catch and release nets. DFO can always adjust gear regulations as well as a means to reduce impacts. 50% is just ridiculous statement by these groups!
