DonAndersen Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Folks, I put together a simple page to capture the Plan and some of the backlash. Link: http://bamboorods.ca/cutthroat1.html regards, Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutlover Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Its difficult to be hopeful when you see experts with decades of experience being ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhunt Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 "Over the past 20 years, efforts to restore fish populations by implementing catch-and-release fishing regulations and other management actions have mostly failed". So steps to limit angling related mortality haven't improved or stabilized populations despite the fact that these practices clearly have worked elsewhere i.e. the North Ram. Is that not a clear indication that something other than angling is clearly and profoundly having an impact on these systems? Who are these clowns? And I'm sorry, but if these systems can't sustain the angling pressure they currently receive, which is next to none when compared to a stream like the North Ram, then that's just another indication of poor resource management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Folks, Telling me is fine - telling the Minister even better. and I'll be pleased to add any letters pro or con sent my way to the page. regards, Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningChrome Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've heard multiple people say they didn't fill out the survey and haven't paid much attention to this because they don't fish those streams. It's almost a guarantee that if they push this through due to angler complacency that closures will be coming to the SW streams next year again without addressing the larger issues of industry and OHV damage to habitat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Burining Chrome,. I don't fish them either however. This is a water shed moment. Either we get ahead of this or the other streams in southern AB are next. regards, Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
