If I heard correctly (and maybe I should go back and listen again), he said there was "no opening when the fish of concern were in the relevant area" - this is not the same as saying there were no openings. Assuming then that the fish are higher up in the system (which imo is a blatant lie), why is Rec not open? Regarding why no hatchery allowed, did he not say the FN threatened to go full tilt on the river if we were allowed hatchery?
While I agree this whole thing has an alternate agenda (think reconciliation and oil), I shudder to think what the cons would do (and have done) to the fish and the environment. I honestly do not think there is a way out of this and expect what we have seen to be status quo for the rest of my fishing years, regardless of who is in power.
