The present escapement is 36,000, he said. The restriction would affect only 5.6 per cent of all fishermen, Heizer said, including one man who caught 734 fish last year. Several fishermen were critical of department statistics and blamed the depletion of the stocks on over-fishing by Indians and commercial fishermen.

Describing himself as an “ombudsman for the thinking fisherman,”’ Straight said the department is doing “its dead level best” to regulate the fishery. Don McDonald, President — of the host North Shore Fish and Game Club, called the turnout “poor” and _at- tributed it to lack of interest on the part of most fisher- men. Most of them, he said, probably think the measures a “good idea”. He said the club would continue to oppose the proposals.
