Re: #1 issue of concern to anglers in Alberta
So far a variety of concerns that I break down somthing like this:
3 would like to reduce limits
3 think that "special groups" with special fishing "privilages"
are hurting the resource (I put Brocks comment
about "commercial fishing into this group because it was
a "special group" person getting a Domestic net licence he
was talking about)
2 think Commercial fishing may be hurting the resource.
1 Specifically mentioned increase funding for Fish & Wildlife
so they could do a better job of managing the resource.
This is the #1 issue as I see it. Many of the problems mentioned could be adressed by F&W if they had the staff and budget to do the work. Presently their hands are tied with some issues like Habitat concerns as the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA, a non-government organization funded by Alberta Anglers) is supposed to be doing these kinds of things.
