Glad someone is finally doing this. BC salmon numbers have been falling drastically in the past decade and its about time someone took it seriously. DFO sure doesn't seem to. I remember in the '80s when if you went fishing you were pretty well guaranteed to fill your limit. Not so any more. Terrible mismanagement on the part of the Dept of Fisheries. Apparently they haven't learned much from the cod debacle on the east coast.

Wild-salmon advocates expressed relief Thursday after Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the federal government will stage a judicial inquiry into the collapse of sockeye salmon runs on the Fraser River......

.....Sockeye runs spawning in the Fraser drainage have been in a two-decade decline after years of spectacular abundance in the 1980s, and hit a 50-year low in summer 2009.

Demands for an inquiry escalated this fall after the Fraser River sockeye run collapsed – with only about one million fish returning to spawn when between 10 million and 13 million had been expected.
