I was there and I am from the Calgary area. I did feel out of place seeing that the majority of those there make a living off of our fishery and they have a lot to lose or gain from any changes brought forward. But hey it was very educational and I hope to attend more in the future.
Holding a round table or two in the Calgary area might help a little as well.
But really Neil what would it take to make you happy? Both you and Don complain that know one from the Calgary area gets involved then when a few start to show interest you *hit on them for piggybacking on others hard work.
PS what kind of recognition do you want? I could bake you cake or maybe buy you a nice trophy or something. Every time someone post about a milestone reached at a lake or a Streamwatch auction is held there is a ton of positive feedback giving to those who do the heavy lifting. Don, Clive, Al, Barry and many others are well respected on this forum and deservedly so.
