SPEAK OUT - WHATS IT ABOUT?


HI I'M BIGRED ( DON ) AND THIS PAGE IS ABOUT INTERESTING FLY FISHING DISCUSSIONS.

IF YOU HAVE A TOPIC THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING DIFFERENT VIEWS OF, THEN PUT IT IN THE COMMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.



CURRENT DISCUSSION:


Angling Management Plan Skeena Quality Waters Strategy

Most recently a leaked draft of recommendations to be put forth for the upcoming 2010-11 fishing regulations has been a concern for many stakeholders.

I have read this draft, and certainly do ( not ) agree with most of these recommendations. Based the the voices of resident anglers, guides and local business owners at meetings held, they also do not agree. I do agree that based on the stats at certain times of the peak Steelhead season at certain places on certain rivers there is a high concentration of anglers, and there could be in the future the need to restrict these activities to avoid over crowding. I do not believe we are there yet. The overall affects of any proposed lottery system on local businesses has not really been addressed, and this is an issue that must be addressed. We have always promoted tourism, and our rivers are world renowned for the sports fishing. For those of you who are non-resident and alien anglers, remember Alan Dolan & Associates are not speaking the truth when they site stats saying that we, local residents, anglers, guides and business people are for the recommendations being released, because clearly we are not and are continuing with every effort to be heard, that we are against them.

Qualified Waters groups ponder and argue about restricting aliens from our rivers, or at least give them draws, or as suggested, just allow the licenced fishing guides to fish. Some of these group recommendations will be posted in the fishing regulations down the road.


( Big Red )
" Yes I do think that some limits may be required to protect the Salmon and Steelhead stocks, so that every one gets to enjoy fly fishing at its best. We of course we do not want to see or waters overcrowded like places on South Coast. Better policing to combat illegal guiding, mistreatment of Steelhead, litering and any other violations of regulations under the Fisheries act. Build a fish hatchery on the Bulkley above Telkwa.

( Big Red )
"Maybe with hatcheries, and fly-fishing only designation, and motor boat restrictions, may be enough to make vacationing in our great place, a life time experience or dream. Everyone should have the right to fish as much as they want. Book your stays in Telkwa, we want you to enjoy our rivers. "

Bigredflybox Raising Smarter Steelhead 5 Dec 14 2007, 5:21 PM EST by Bigredflybox
Thread started: Jan 3 2007, 12:06 AM EST  Watch
In the 40th Anniversary Collectors Edition of the Salmon Trout Steelheader mag, this article on page 24, talks about the research done at the University of California Davis have learned that altering the enviroment of hatchery-raised steelhead can impact how the fish develop, and may even result in brainier steelhead. I have fished the Kitimat River for years and have never to my knowledge mever ever hooked a hatchery steelhead, at least one with a dorsel fin removed. Smarter steelhead makes sence to me. I would say that the hatchery steelhead are smarter then the wild steelhead, if the hatchery steelhead will not take my fly. ( Big Red )
