Yep, we will just have to live with it, and with more closures and limit restrictions until populations can be assessed & improved. Just because its been detected doesn't necessarily mean it brand new to the province. It could have been present for years or potentially decades.
Only time will tell if we get population decline from WD (maybe it already happened) but we can expect SRD to tighten keep limits in affected rivers for the foreseeable future. I noticed the upper Bow (where I mainly fish) have gone from a trout limit of 2 last year to zero this year. Not that I kept them anyways, but I am sure it is b/c of WD. I just hope they don't have to close it altogether.
