There's definitely been a decline since 2019 when the Fraser River 52 restrictions came in. No longer can I fish five minutes from the dock until July 15. I have to run for an hour to an hour and 10 minutes. Locals who have small boats under 25 feet don't have the ability to run up to where I've run to to go fishing. It has really restricted even locals to go and have the ability to catch salmon five minutes from the dock for the majority of the summer.
