Steelhead:
As of July 22 we are 1/3 of our 2010 numbers. No selective fishing measures being taken and seine fishery every day of the week. This all makes us wonder whether we have made any progress in this battle or whether we just get more meetings. On a positive note the Province has taken a stand for steelhead. No matter how progressive DFO is at higher levels the changes never seem to make it past the Rupert office. It is time to take off the gloves and focus on the real problem...North Coast DFO.
