I wonder what the response from the lodges here would be if we choose to close a couple days mid week

I guess that’s the big question. I certainly don’t feel we need to operate solely on what’s best for the lodges. I appreciate they need consideration. Doesn’t America have lodges?

If Canadian commercial has no market for it why not just give a bigger cut to the rec sector who still has a big demand and can 10x it.

anyways we have beat this horse to a pulp in the past

agreed, and keep flogging the horse.

As long as the US is the commercial fleets main customer, this tactic will continue to be used. This is the starting point, next year they will want additional concessions. As a start make Americans buy commercial quota to fish here! Wonder what percentage of the Recreational catch they take. Let them fund the commercial fishers their government is trying to screw!

USA is not waiting till 2027 they have called Canada back to the meeting table in June trying to get 2027 settled now before next years IPHC meeting..

Did I read the minutes right where the US had 3 Reps voting and we only had 2 due to one of ours being absent? At some point do we just walk away?

Midterm victories needed?

Nuclear weapons needed. That seems to be only thing the Americans right now will back down from with countries that have them.

Not looking forward the Pacific Salmon Treaty. That will be ugly.
