I believe help should always be given but never asked for.

I live "Up North" and do believe that there should be a zero limit on all wild Arctic Grayling in this province. My grandfather tells me of streams teeming full of Grayling when he was younger but due to the Logging and Oil-and-Gas industries, reckless ATV drivers, as well as some of the driest years ever in Alberta, the Grayling population has been decimated. A zero limit on wild Arctic Grayling would be a band-aid at this point, but it would be a step in the right direction. To lose such a beautiful fish from our streams would be an absolute tragedy.

"The fat pink slobs who go roaring over the landscape in these over-sized over-priced over-advertised mechanical mastodons are people too lazy to walk, too ignorant to saddle a horse, too cheap and clumsy to paddle a canoe. Like cattle or sheep, they travel in herds, scared to death of going anywhere alone, and they leave their sign and spoor all over the back country: Coors beer cans, Styrofoam cups, plastic spoons, balls of Kleenex, wads of toilet paper, spent cartridge shells, crushed gopher snakes, smashed sagebrush, broken trees, dead chipmunks, wounded deer, eroded trails, bullet-riddled petroglyphs, spray-painted signatures, vandalized Indian ruins, fouled-up waterholes, polluted springs and smoldering campfires piled with incombustible tinfoil, filter tips, broken bottles. Etc." - Edward Abbey It was as true then as it is now.
