The DFO allowed 250,000 pieces, sockeye salmon to be fished from the Adams lake ! With the crazy heat we had two summers ago to the dry summer into October this year this does not make any sense for ceremonial fish to be pulled from the run. They could have been ocean caught then trucked in because these are the ones that made it to spawn so they have the best DNA , smartest and certainly the strongest. The salmon actually held up in the deep water of Kamloops lake as the water levels were very low. This is the opinion of many fishers and others as well. The sockeye population in 2010 was 28 million so the dfo opened a 24 hour fishery. There were too many fish caught all at once and the processors could not keep up. They didn’t have enough ice and couldn’t make ice fast enough as well so after 12 hours the fishermen didn’t get fresh ice for the next catch from them so the fish was spoiling fast and then they refused to process fish that wasn’t in prefect condition. The fish were thrown overboard all because of poor dfo management. I have never seen so many fish on the decks of the boats at one time. Sockeye move in big schools and the dfo know this ! So fish for 12 hours, let some through , process properly, don’t get greedy, stop the madness! It only takes a rock slide or a big wild fire season to hurt the population instantly and with the population in decline the Department of fisheries and oceans in their wisdom allowed 400,000 sockeye salmon to be caught at the mouth of the Fraser this year even though these fish were to return to to Okanagan . Salmon in the ocean are there to feed the ocean mammals not to feed people, and they feed land animals when they reach the rivers and keep our streams healthy by making trees grow strong and TO SURVIVE AS A SPECIES so we need to send message. Don’t be Fooled by a documentary saying everything is fine, look at all of the fish so many fish ! We are raping our salmon fishery by overfishing it just to make a quick profit on the Asian market. It’s a lie , a dirty lie like fish farming Atlantic Salmon.

Agree that the in-river fisheries can be managed better. Some one tell what happened to the Fraser river Sockeye Runs that I remember 50 years ago??
