Pretty quiet around here. Is everyone waving the white flag? Kind of nice actually .
I see lot's of folks asking about the SFAC and SFAB process which is good to see.
This split that some poster's put up about guides and lodges being some kind of fictional self entity is total garbage IMHO. Step back and look at where you will be fighting for your rights alone. I have done it. I am just a joe blow fisherman with a boat. I appreciate the efforts of the SFI, the BCWF, and many others that represent the sports fisher person of this great Province of ours. If you think anything will get better by having another category to the already complicated regulations than you are dreaming. You are going to go down a very dark and lonely road with absolutely nothing to gain and even more to lose. We have to stick together folks period. Recognition in numbers. Recreational fishing is what it is. If I didn't own a boat, I would be hiring guides to take me out to catch my fish. The vast majority of the people that actually think a commercial guiding sector is feasible are boat owners. Get the boat ownership out of your head and look at the big picture.
There is hope for common ground in all sorts of areas. Just an observation is all.
Cheers,
John
