I've had a couple of encounters with CO's in AB and Guardians in BC, all very positive and pleasant. Nice chat with all after the formalities were out of the way.
I've also flagged a couple CO's down on occasion to ask for advise on the waters I was planning to fish, on both occasions they were very willing to divulge their knowledge and secrets.
Great people!
Only complaint I may have, is how on one occasion, a guardian in BC came up behind me while I was in the water working a section of the river and absolutely scared the crap out of me when he said "Good morning"!! After we both stopped laughing, I stepped out and had a great chat and more chuckles as to how high I jumped when he startled me.
All good people, doing a necessary job, we need more.
