OUTLOOK
Local lakes are getting stocked, temperatures are rising and we have some rain in the forecast. Though the rain may not be ideal for spending time outdoors it should be good for fishing in most areas. The rivers could use a little water and overcast days are better for spring trout fishing.
This week in the report Alex has a piece on how to fish the local lakes that have been freshly stocked. Taylor has a Vedder update where we are still getting good reports and Zach tunes in for the Squamish where again, we have heard “ok” reports across the board but the system could use some water.
On the politics and fisheries science side of things, we are at the end of a licence cycle and new regulation announcements are coming soon. This will be worth paying attention to. A bunch of DFO guys and girls, a bunch of folks in the private sector and a bunch of politicians who want to see science-based decisions dictate regulations have put in tireless work over the last few months and we are crossing our fingers that the decision makers will listen.
In this week’s video version of the Friday Fishing Report Matt talks in detail about those who are pushing for changes as well as highlighting some updates from the science community regarding catch and release data.
Matt talks about this in the video version of the report but be sure to check out the first of several videos from MP Bob Zimmer who has spent the last few weeks interviewing many of our province’s experienced anglers about the importance of BC’s public fishery and the affect the Minister’s closures have had on BC fishing families and communities.
As we get closer to April 1, we will work to keep you updated as much as we can on the work being doing – so be sure to keep an eye on our social feeds and weekly reports for any updates and regulation announcements. Also be sure to follow and get involved with the SFI and the PFA
