Does anyone know if the round table is still meeting? Did they end up meeting in April 2013 like initially planned? I normally watch for the agenda/minutes to stay up to date but havent heard this time around. Thanks.

Well here is the meat of the agenda topics... minus the introductions and housekeeping type items...

 

• Hear from participants about upcoming projects and initiatives being undertaken by their organizations
• Provide information about Fisheries Branch key initiatives and undertakings (policy development, commercial fishery management, grayling status assessment, barbless hooks, 2014 regs, ACA/ESRD MOU, Fisheries Act, ESRD re-org)
• Update from Licensing Review Committee – review recommendations and identify next steps provided
• Presentation and sharing ideas regarding needs and opportunities aimed at reducing the number of angling regulations for Alberta - presented by Darryl Smith
• Provide information about fisheries management trends and challenges and discuss issues - presented by Mike Sullivan
• Presentation and exchange of ideas on the enhancement of trout fisheries in flowing waters - Note: This never took place as the presenter was not available.

Thanks. Really hoping to hear the government will finally pull the trigger on a couple significant management decisions as included in troutfriend's summary. Ive heard rumors but always like to read everything over myself.

Guys,

 

I was to be the presenter on issues facing Alberta. Unfortunately, life and some heart got in the way. Hoping that I'll get an opportunity to address some of the issues this fall.

 

Regards,
