As usual, instead of addressing quaders ripping up and destroying the back country, which is where this started, he defects to Calling lake as a comparison of damage??? Yeah...

They have banned quading in multiple recreation areas and the fish stocks still aren't amazing in all those areas... Quaders are not the only reason for a poor fish population in the Pembina and you are crazy if you think so.
Want example of fishing pressure issues.
Crimson Lake, fished out in little over a year...
Obed Lake, being fished out with heavy pressure, obvious decline in fish stocks the past couple years.
Wabamun Lake, a catch and release fish sanctuary, many dead and injured fish from handling.
Muir Lake, another primarily catch and release fishery with multiple dead floaters from handling.
Ram River cutties show signs of missing lips, deformed jaws and there are probably dead ones as well all from catch and release fishing.
Those are just a small handful of water bodies that I have seen fishing including catch and release have a significant negative impact on the water body in the few years I have been fishing here.
Quadders may be more damaging but all the other guy claimed and he was right in doing so is that the fishermen also have an effect.
Now instead of arguing on a forum if you think the true reason for poor fish stocks in the Pembina is quadding then get some examples and propose it to the government on why quadding is the actual culprit and try to convince them to close those areas to quadding or at least enforce the laws(quadders aren't supposed to be going in the rivers/creeks so shouldn't have an effect on fish stocks).
