Just a quick question. Do you have to head far out from Otter to get into the coho are are they everywhere? Thanks.

Where is Rosedale? Haven't heard of that one before.
Yes, but the guys that use this knowledge to justify keeping one or more unclipped fish are still poachers in my opinion. I've heard this talk at cleaning tables sometimes. I find confronting people holding knives to be unwise, and I like to think they are the small minority that karma will kick in the knackers soon enough.

Not all hatchery fish are clipped. Clipping is very labour intensive, and most hacheries on the Island are run by volunteers. As such they lack the man power to clip.

One thing you have to remember is NOW people are going out looking for pinks and we are just seeeing the coho as people are not in tight like we normally fish.
The coho were there, always have been its just we are targeting them thats all wasnt toooooo long ago that this was the norm in july.
One thing I would love to see dfo do is let us go out and get your 2 coho doesnt matter if they are wild or clipped get 2 and your done and save what is there to continue on!!
seems VERY pointless to go through 20 or 30 fish to get 2 hatchery?????WTF as the mortality rate is going to be high its a real shame to toss back a gill hooked wild coho and watch it float away as you know its dead and you know we all have done had to do it the other day with client ons the boat and it makes me feel sick to my stomach as I know that fish is dead what a waste!!!! and it pisses me off.
So why not go out get 2 fish and then your off?????again another dumb butt descision by fisheries!!!
