The ones that disagree with this policy are the ones WHO UNDERSTAND THE CONTINUING FACTORS. Angling is but one of the factors but for the 60 years I've been fishing the Eastern Slopes, they have been the ONLY factor who had time after time been legislated.
It is long past time that the other factors be part of the equation and have thier activities adjusted. To be fair, many of the resource extraction companies are required to perform. Whether or not this happens depends on the company. Examples where this has not occurred exist. The settling pond blow out into the Athabaska is one example.
All other users are allowed a free for all.
This has to change.
Angler's have done their part. From 15>10>5>2>1>0 and now stream closures.
Drink the Koolaid again. You all gotta be kidding.
