[QUOTE=warriorboy10;644235]Good point walking buffalo!!
Newfie, I have caught and released more fish than I care to count. It is very important to me as a sportsman to look after what we have.
As far as the dino's go. It is my belief that our fine head biologist for our fine province don't have an actual clue about how many sturgeon we have running in the nsr. So therefore they call it a fish at risk. How many sturgeon have you caught, and if you have did you ever catch the same tagged fish twice?? I would bet not!! The nsr is a great fishery and yes we need to look after it. Information that is not accurate does not help the situation.
If you know anything about our alberta lakes and some of the horiffic management practices that has close to destroyed those fisheries. Just to name a few. Pigeon, Slave and Elinor.
Anyways sorry for the rant, but some PPLL just PMO!![/QUOTe

About 6 years ago they estimated about 2500 in the NSR. Anglers on the tagging program have caught the same tagged sturgeon numerous times, sometimes the same year and sometimes years later.
