They wouldn't go as far as to cut back all chinook fishing would they? I just can't see it happening. Commercial fishing is where the cuts need to be made!
Yes, they
might go that far.
Commercial (troll) fishing on WCVI has taken hit after hit after hit the past few years. The quota last season was insufficient to provide for any real opportunities. Then this year the Dino cut that again by 40 %. Well and good you say?
Lip Service actually. The springs the Area G Fleet largely targets are US origin, and have been for years. Basically up to 90% of the realized catch were US bound fish. The fish we sporties target are about 65% or better Canadian fish. Wherein lies the greatest impact??
Now, if we're talking the rape and pillage the bag & net fleets were allowed to perform in such areas as the Alberni Inlet, I would have to agree Whole-Heartedly!

The writing is on the wall for the Salmon fishery, I think... Time for us twin engine guys to pursue Albacore, I'm gonna give it a crack this summer.
Made it out there a few times last year LC. Very much a REEL Hoot! Bloody fast and furious Fun! Try it, you're gonna Love It! I know I will be chasing them again this coming year, FOR SURE!!
