I am hoping to put a summary of the presentations together before the weekend in preparation for the upcoming AEP Fishery Management Forum in Calgary on January 21. By the way the times of the AEP forum were removed from their website. Its an open discussion forum 4:30 to 8:30 at each location.

An event you should not miss on Wednesday January 15, 2020: Calgary Fish & Game Association's Fish Management Seminar In the spring of 2018 University of Calgary researcher, Chris Cahill reported that the World Class Bow River Trout Fishery was in a severe state of decline. Rainbow Trout populations were reported to have declined by as much as 45% over a 10 year period from 2003 to 2013. Subsequently, Alberta Environment and Parks embarked on a two-year Bow River fish population survey in 2018 - 19 to establish a baseline for further investigation. Preliminary results released in 2019 suggested that the decline in all Bow River sport fish populations continues. Calgary Fish & Game Association’s seminar this week, The State of the Bow River Fishery will present the Government of Alberta’s Fishery Management and Enforcement Branch overview of the fishery. Two presentations: • Paul Christensen, Senior Biologist, Alberta Environment and Parks, South Saskatchewan Region will present a report on the status of the Bow River Basin Fishery Management Objectives. • Scott Kallweit, Calgary Metropolitan District Sergeant, Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch, Justice and Solicitor General will be presenting enforcement issues related to our fisheries, as well as, an update on the Report a Poacher program. The event will be held at the Cardel Theatre 180 Quarry Park Boulevard SE, Calgary January 15, 2020 from 7 to 9 PM. Registration is required for this free event Go to: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alberta-government-fisheries-p… Peter Crowe-Swords Calgary Fish & Game Association

Going.. I know it is cold out, but we fishers need to show up in numbers to hear what is going on, and what can be done. PL
