PeterSL Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Trout Unlimited Canada has sent a letter to the Minister of Alberta Environment and Parks outlining its position on the North Central Trout Recovery Program. The letter may be found on the TUC website at: https://tucanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/TUC-statement-on-NCNT-Jan-2018.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpOtFyRe Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm glad to see some of the concerns/suggestions raised in this letter. With these closures two rivers in my vicinity that I love are being closed (Berland and Kakwa) - ironically found out about them too late to contribute to the feedback when visiting a business in Edmonton. It's difficult to accept these closures given the quantity of water that is being pulled from nearby (ex./ Cutbank River) or the reduced staffing levels of enforcement officers (CO and F&W) to patrol (Willmore Wilderness). I've waited 2 hours for Fox Creek (of the Berland Drainage) to clear after OHVs drove through upstream of where I was fly fishing. Without mitigation of these other recreational factors, complete removal of fishing is not going to facilitate healthy recovery. The proposal of a special license or draw is of interest to myself, it would enable fishermen to legally be out on the waters and be able to report poachers, so we can still be additional eyes and hold each other accountable.

kemo99 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If you have thoughts about the NCNT program, you are welcome provide feedback directly to AEP. The letter posted above represents a consolidated view from TUC and all it's members and is the official TUC response. Our club will not be submitting a separate response, and we ask that you not respond on behalf of TUC or our chapter. I've written my own letter, and sent it to the minister AEP.Minister@gov.ab.ca and deputy minister andre.corbould@gov.ab.ca Your thoughts (positive or negative) and suggestions can make a difference.

Don Andersen Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Folks, I am more than disappointed at TUC's response. As a founding director of Central Alberta chapter, I have to reconsider my membership. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
