Who were you thinking about when you typed that? Kananaskis Lakes area is a huge family orientated tourist industry. Do you actually think that campers should drive to a pothole lake from their campsite when they are looking at the Kan Lakes? C'mom smitty.....

I mentioned it in an earlier post that the economics had to be studied. If $10K of easy to catch 12" stocked cutts generates $100K in tourist revenue do you think that SRD will change the regs for 300 local adults that want to catch bigger fish....pfffft!
