Port Hope Says Enough is Enough

[[email protected]]

thats the thing though, there are a lot of garbage bins up and down the river, often within 100ft of any angler, just people are too lazy to walk their butts to it to dispose of anything.

pretend for a moment, you're a visitor from out of province, you've heard of the big runs in the ganny, and want to check it out and see the fish. you get to the river and see the circus sh!t show there, my reaction would be, f this, lets go somewhere else

my thoughts exactly the moment i witnessed it myself. i still visit the ganny but sometimes, i enjoy being a spectator and have some laughs....

i would think that it was an accepted way of angling.

you'd think you'd compare apples to apples, but you have not. the people of alaska are allowed to dipnet for salmon because its a way of life and survival for them to make it through the tough winter months when trap lines freeze up, and the rivers and lake get 8ft of ice on them.


what is happening in PH is illegal fishing, which by the way, you seem to be highly supporting. you can't argue that people are eating these fish for survival, unless you're in northern ontario is some tiny village living in a shack, if you can't find a job to help support yourself or your immediate family, then that is your problem

info regarding dipnetting in Alaska

http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=PersonalUsebyAreaSouthcentralkenaiSalmon.main
This popular fishery takes place from late June through July in the marine waters of Cook Inlet just off the mouth of the Kenai River. Since 2003, Alaskans harvest between 130,000 and 540,000 sockeye salmon annually in this fishery.
The Kenai River is a large glacial system draining the central Kenai Peninsula. The river begins at Kenai Lake near the community of Cooper Landing and flows approximately 82 miles down to its mouth in Upper Cook Inlet, near the community of Kenai. The City of Kenai is approximately 160 highway miles south of Anchorage.

A permit is required, and salmon must be marked

Just heard that the council meeting today resulted in a consensus for a solution, if only a temporary one until something more solid comes to the table.

Between the months of September and October, Port Hope will be renamed "Port Hopeless".

The name "Port Hope" will resume on November 1st.

"pretend for a moment, you're a visitor from out of province, you've heard of the big runs in the ganny, and want to check it out and see the fish. you get to the river and see the circus sh!t show there" / "i would think that it was an accepted way of angling"

i think that will clear that up.

neither. i poke a stick at issues like this to see if someone will make a stand, or will be spurred into action to perpetuate positive change.

i offered a workable solution to this problem that could have been acted upon by either locals or concerned anglers. the option of sitting on one's hands bitching about a problem on the internet, waiting for others (government) to do something, doesn't work. the end result usually is a knee jerk reaction that serves just a few.

the end result it seems is that the fishery will now be closed. that has solved nothing, as some sort of enforcement will still be needed by either it OPP or the MNR. all that is left now, is to hear from local businesses about drop in business during the fall.

I think that would work just fine

this is a problem that requires more intervention than regulation.

With the river closing in a few days. There is still lots of fish coming up river why don't some of you heck why don't most of you come back with your family members and show them the ladder and the town. Stop in a shop and say hi at least this way it will go along way in the towns decision on what they may do to fishing on port hope.

I visited PH once for the purpose of fishing only and it discouraged me big time. That place is getting raped every year. You don't need to go there if you just want to catch salmon. Don't want to sound like i'm on a high horse but living in the GTA, driving all the way there for that kind of fishing isn't worth my time. I hope the locals come up with something that will benefit them and the fisheries.

Since the MNR is aware of the pillage, why arent they there on weekends handing out tickets?
