Again???
Suppose the tens of thousands of Albertans who buy fish at Costco decided to get a fishing rod instead and hit the lakes and rivers to get their fish protein. I doubt there would be any "Rockies" for anyone to have a fry up after one year. |
Touche!

We effectively use a low bar for what the fishery could be and subtract from there. |

We for for the options brought forward and none are even mediocre in my opinion Alberta anglers don’t have any lobbying power and don’t have enough representation/support for issues to even be acknowledged. It’s not a left or right thing it’s anglers/fisheries are not even on the political radar It’s going to take a lot more than a party switch |
There is a new group that was formed hoping to have a stronger voice to get the government to listen:

The fact of the matter is anglers make up a relatively small portion of the population and when segregated into to smaller groups the voice becomes a whisper I don’t doubt it’s all with good intentions but results will be lacking |
Smokey Buck is right!
Same applies to hunters so what he have to do is join forces with groups that have similar interests, such as torism, water users that sort of thing.
I'm assuming that groups that want to keep the water levels up will enhance the fishery. I can't think of any competing interests that are opposed to ours. I agree this is not a partisan issue. Have we got suggestions that we can put forward to the politicians. The ideal suggestion, is free, easy to do and that you can blame the other political party for not doing. |

Really you want representation that is fishing only if you are tackling fisheries related issues but you need it to represent fishing as a whole. It cannot be fly fishing focused, C&R only, or primarily focused on a species here in Alberta Yes there is species specific and special interest fishing groups that are successful but there is not that culture here in Alberta. But this is a waste of typing because the effort for change and willingness to approach things realistically is lacking |
