SFAB May 17 notes from Sandy MacDonald

Folks. This will be my last report until the fall.Hopefully after we have a successful sockeye fishery.

Speaking of sockeye….In port Alberni and the Skeena system ,a major sockeye collapse is forecast.
We expect at least 3-5 million to enter the Fraser system which would be large enough to provide a recreational fishery in the lower Fraser and Thompson Rivers.

CHINOOK are a different story! The Skeena system is closed to all salmon fishing this year unless an unexpected sockeye return happens ,but there will be no chinook fishery in the Skeena or Nass this year.

Hi All,

It’s game seven 3rd period tie game of the Stanley Cup Championship, last rock in the 10th end or game 7 bottom of the 9th inning whichever you prefer. We have very little time left to turn around extirpation of IFRS. Keep reading because each of you has something to do.
