Tensions and arrests are on the rise on the Fraser River

[L Gilbert]

As a sport fisherman, a serious look into black market fish sales, should be done.

Its not the commercial or sport fishery that is the problem. It is the undocumented
catches and black market sales that creates shortages. Monitored and regulated
fish openings can be done with the future in mind. Wholesale theft of the resource is
the real problem.

Yep and yep.

What is the point of illegally fishing for no money?

.... or buying a fish that costs the same as the storebought ones ........

That issue needs to be dealt with by the bands or they will never garner any respect from the public and when the Fisheries staff are terrified to lay charges due to politically correct feedback from a public who know nothing beyond what the media says, the recipe for disaster is fully in place.

Well, to be fair, the DFO usually has its head up its backside anyway.
