Science has nothing to do with this governments decision making, all based on fn demands and engo lobbying to "save the whales".

If i remember correctly 90% plus of the 5-2s are into the fraser river by second week of August with 95%+ being third week. Usually takes a couple week from area 20 to the mouth. So by the start of August the majority would of already past that area.

Not that the data matters

Good post. Yes this is what the data says, but DFO and their political masters are not that interested in the data. They are more concerned about pleasing their voting base, ENGO's and FN's. If some sectors say they have to further shut down areas (e.g. areas 18-20) then so be it to appease them and to hell with the data, the public fishery and the coastal economies that depend on them. !

believe this would be far more teaching than just areas 18-20. Even areas like 27, 26, 25, 11, 10 etc
