Regardless a task force should be set up to find out what is happening to the North Coast salmon in the ocean. Because if numbers keep on dwindling believe me there won't be any Salmon to fish for in the next 10 to fifteen years.
The week I was there, they found a net across the skeena, total closure only a matter of time. It was hook and release only on the kitimat until july 1st, pressure from the drifters, and local businesses, because of loss business forced a one salmon limit of 80cm---only a matter of time until total closure province wide.
