Brad i really like your idea of takin a test idea, i do think it will weed out alot more people and undesirables and i also think it will help a little with the poaching because now its just gonna be that much more of a hassel to do it, and it will help with the funding and as you said the people that really want to fish will take the course to get out and do some fishing, just like us hunters, if we want to hunt we have to take a course, just imagine how many hunters there would be if you just had to and purchase a WIN card then buy a hunting license, it would be just as bad as the fishermen per lake in alberta, so i do think they should in corporate something like that, but i do think they should exempt those who have a fishing license already. but once again this all leads back to the fact that the F&G just dont have the staff and resources to do that unless of course a private group such as the AHEIA is willing to start to do those types of course's as well.
