DFO steps up patrols against Fraser sockeye poachers

All fishing for sockeye has been shut down on the Faser in response to a low run size and dangerously high river temperatures to ensure as many of the salmon get upriver to spawn as possible.
But Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Herb Redekopp said the "full-out conservation closure" hasn't deterred illegal fishing on the river.
