These are the current water temperatures in the lower Fraser relative to the thresholds. Temperatures in middle and upper Fraser streams are often warmer…

Good article on water levels and salmon but it is not just water levels that are of concern but water temperatures, and they tend to go hand in hand. Here is an infographic, data from the Hinch Lab at UBC.

Alaska says that if the ruling stands they won’t tolerate the same fish they are prevented from catching being caught in other jurisdictions. The BC recreational fishery is the next gauntlet these fish must migrate through. Could this be what he is speaking of?

Streams of origin of threatened and endangered chinook likely to be encountered in new recreational fisheries being proposed by DFO. Any near you? Most First Nations living near them are strongly opposed.

Do you live near where these threatened or endangered chinook might have returned to?

These are streams where threatened and endangered chinook that will be encountered in the proposed new fisheries are likely to return to. Are any of the streams near where you live?

Dr Reid. I thought you might find this of interest. It depicts the changing nature of the BC salmon fishery. The chart captures the 2022 commercial sockeye catch.

Crew of only Skeena River fishery to catch their commercial allocation in 2022. Impressive, especially considering limited emissions & improved stock/species selectivity. Dipnet fishery at Ts’eteszli, Lake Babine Nation. Bank behind them has been in constant use for 8,000 years.
