As far as the nets being out this year that is not true. Just talked to a good friend that lives in B.C. and knows a lot about what is going on and the natives are STILL netting the fraser. Say what u want about habitat ocean conditions etc, the big issue on this system is the native netting. The sockeye fishery this year murdered the early "T" fish. One of my best friends who lives here said they got a big wild steelhead out in the straits while commercial fishing too.

It is extremely sad what has happened to this river. I am sad to say that I just started fishing this last year and I can honestly say after fishing all over the northwest for steelhead that these fish are truely some of, if not the most special steelhead that you will ever lay a hand on!!!
