Something's fishy... No pun intended :chuckle: anyone else find it weird that with all the closures this year to salmon fishing, and all of the anglers in an uproar, that all of a sudden this happens? Sounds to me like the wdfw had something to do with this to provide opportunity and shut everybody up...  :dunno:
:yeah:  is the first thought that came to my mind :chuckle:

 You can bonk unclipped kings in MA 7 right now, and fishing is good.  That would be the last place they'd need to throw a bone.

if you look up the parent company who owns those net pens, you will notice ikura is one of the products from those fish.

do your own research though.

will a sterile fish still produce roe?

Can someone tell me why it is still OK to farm raise Atlantic salmon in net pens all the while it is against the law to farm raise deer and elk?

I really like the comment where the tribal guy says "as bad a shape as are fishery is in, any impact  can be devastating"  Any impact this has is nothing like the impact of stringing nets across a river. Give me a break. There just mad because of the impact it has on the value of the fish they sell.....

This may be a problem that has been reoccurring we just never knew about it.  Strait off the WDFW website. "Total annual escape from B.C. pens according to the most recent reports, to include chronic "leakage" of smaller fish (which is not reported), could exceed 50,000 fish, annually."

Buddies did good on them yesterday.  Had one friend with 6, another with 18 and saw pictures of a boat that had 34 in it.  Looks like a blast.  We might give it ago before 300 boats are targeting them in a small area.

Looks like a blast. Those fish fight like heck too. Any that survive for a while and adjust to natural food sources will become beasts. Kill them all  :tup:

h2o - did your buddies mention how they fished for them?  Trolling?  Throwing spinners?

You could probably buy a bag of food off the fish farm and do alright.

No kidding, kinda like feeding the trout at Cabelas! 

Wonder if you could put cat food on a hook under a bobber?

I would bet they could be caught on a white lightning Coho killer behind a Hot Spot.  But I don't eat farm raised fish so I won't be finding out.

It's going to be great when those sea lice start going around in the wild populations.  :tup:
