Very true. Biggest threat to the drainages of the S.W. are not the cattle, mines, logging, ATV's etc. It's the people who never stop harassing the fish. Doesn't matter what the water level is or the temps of water or how many people are pounding the water with reckless abandon. If they drove this far they are going to fish and if they catch something..... they are going to take a picture...
We need to limit angler days on the S.W. drainages and charge for each day on the water. Hopefully Alberta follows B.C's lead and develops a similar user pay system.
We need to make some drastic changes to ensure there is a fishery around for future generations.
