B.C. groups press DFO for recreational sockeye opening on the Fraser River

  • Recreational fishing advocates in B.C. are pushing for a sockeye opening on the Fraser River due to a large return of salmon.
  • The Pacific Salmon Commission has noted a significant increase in sockeye, estimating a run size of 4.8 million, which allows for a sustainable harvest of 10,000 to 30,000 fish for recreational fishing.
  • The groups argue that opening the fishery would generate $17 to $31 million in expenditures and improve food security for British Columbians.
  • They stress that opening the fishery presents an opportunity for families to connect with nature while ensuring responsible fishing practices.
