10 million fish reason to extend rare Fraser sockeye opening: sportfishing advocates
- Fraser River sportfishing representatives are advocating to keep the sockeye fishery open past Labour Day due to an unexpected return of 10 million sockeye fish.
- Dean Werk, president of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society, claims that the public fishery is the most selective and sustainable fishery in British Columbia.
- Werk argues that the sports fishery is a significant economic driver, with a ten-time multiplier effect on community benefits from fish-related tourism.
- Despite calls for an extension, the current closure date of September 1 remains in place, and regional representatives understand that there is a lack of interest from the authorities to extend the fishery.
