Tuesday afternoon saw gillnetters throng at the Fraser River, as fishermen pushed into each other, only to take a good position advantage in a rare opening seen in the commercial sockeye salmon fishery.

It was only three hours of open treasure of salmon that was marked in four years for the foremost time to commercial opening of the sockeye fishing site.

John Puska said that it was better than nothing. It was in the 1960s that he began fishing, but it had been ten years since he gave up the practice of fishing.

Now, his son and nephew like to fish in the waters, though it is more not on a frequent basis.

Puska was one of those at the Kanaka Creek Government doc, who was trying to catch as many salmons as he could, where also, no less than 12 other gillnetters loaded and unloaded their catch for the hours.

He said that what is seen now is nothing compared to what it was earlier.

When it was 2:00 pm, the boats on the water sank their nets and with outgoing tide, they off loaded the caught salmons in their buckets.

What was found at the dock’s discussion was that salmon was strong and the most recent rains helped take away a lot of fish back home.
