Skeena & North Coast Fisheries Update July 25, 2024

[@peteredwards8737]

Best steelhead returns in the Skeena since 2018 according to the Tyee Test Fishery numbers - I think those are the only numbers we have - unfortunately the Test Fishery has to kill these prized fish to determine the size of the run. My guess: all commercial net fisheries will cease within the next century.

I really hope all commercial ocean net fisheries end. I think the future is in the past. Indigenous ways of salmon management and fishing should be the way of the future. Harvest at end of migration points will allow for better management of individual stocks.
