SALMON CUTBACKS PROTESTED Fishing editorial ‘unfair’ Dear Editor: This letter is pertaining to the editorial on page 6 of the July 27 paper, titled Fair Fishing. We, the Capilano Conservation Association, feel this editorial is unfair and does not show our viewpoint correctly. As stated in the editorial, the Natives gaff these fish, agreed, but we are not as concerned with the gaffing as we are the snagging with large treble hooks and the building of rock dams (weirs). The snagging methods are a non-selective method, a treble hook going through the water cannot distinguish the fish it snags as a coho, chinook or summer run steelhead. The rock weirs also hinder the passage of the fish on their spawn- ing migration up the river. We feel these weirs are unfair to both the fish and river anglers. All your articles say there are approximately 31,000 coho in the hatchery this year; we are well aware of this fact. The only reason these fish made it to the hatchery was due to high water levels in the river, allowing the fish to pass over ADULT BALLET For Fun & Fitness 7 with GEORGE WALKER 985-4071 atten, fue kf ylvan helps students to succeed Through a variety of programs and teaching techniques Sylvan Learning Centres help students to reach their full potential, increase their skills, and build their confidence.

Coho is a surplus-type fish in the Capilano river. There is more than enough coho for everybody and the hatchery. But you have ne- glected to tell the public about our endangered chinook salmon, which saltwater anglers have been limited to eight of (annually) in the Georgia Strait. In the Capilano river, after Aug. 1, river anglers had to release all adult chinooks. Do the Natives have to release the chinooks they snag — after Jarge wounds have been inflicted and are left open to infection, which is certain to cause death? Also, the summer run steelhead, a prized game fish, is being destroyed by the Natives’ non-selective fishing methods. We also wish to know how you can make a statement that “equipment and bait restrictions can be ignored.’’ If we (sports In School This Fall " Sylvan CLEAR Writing.™ This program will dramatically improve your child’s ability to write essays, reports and test papers — the very thing he's graded on.

The Capilano Conservation Association does not see itself as an ‘unthinking public.’? We are thinking about the communities’ tax dollars, and the future of our salmon resource, for commercial use, Native food use, and sport- fishing use. The time of conservation has come and we must all do our share. The sportsmen have taken their cutbacks, now it is time for the commercial fishery and the Native food fishery to take theirs. We must all work as a team to combat these hurdles and protect our resource.
