Operation Barbeque Part 2
« on: August 25, 2004, 11:17:54 PM »
At the SDA meeting tonight the decison was made to pay a peaceful visit to the Federal Cabinet meeting in Kelowna on September 7th.

 I know it is a work day but that is the day they are meeting. We need as many as possible to attend if we are going to keep the momentum moving as we have got the attention of FOC and the media now.

This event will have lots of media from across Canada so if we have another good protest we will get media attention across Canada. ;D

We will be assembling at the tourist bureau parking lot just South East of Lickman Road by Heritage Park srarting at 8:30 am and leaving in a convoy at 9 am. Car pooling will tried to be arranged. I imagine some of our computer wizards on this board can post a map pretty quickly.

Please PM me if you need more details and if you plan to attend.

Remember our fish and fishing opportunities are at stake so now is the time to get in and voice your opinons, the time is short.

Chris it's nice to see you post the SDA Kelowna event
I have been looking at this page a number of times but have never responded
As you know I will once again be going
I wonder where all the other responders stand
I have not seen anything other than a map
Sure do hope that there words are accompanied by action
As you know we need a couple of hundred people in Kelowna and I know you were counting on a large group that normally meets on these pages!  I haven't seen any yet.
I also noticed somewhere on thes pages someone asking about Kokanee in Cultus lake and in part someone responded correctly by talking about residualizing Sockeye.  However I can tell you from first hand experience this spring as we set out trap nets to live trap pikeminnows we caught everything from red sided shiners to Coho but never a Kokanee big or small
That does not mean there are non but I sure haven't seen any

Welcome Frank Kw aboard to the best fishing web site in the World, glad to have you aboard.

With all the committees you sit on the members of this board will be more informed of fishing issues than every before. ;D

As well as welcoming you, thanks for all your dedication to protecting the rec anglers fishing opportunities and looking after our fishes future as well. If members of this board only knew the time and your own finances you contribute to the cause they would be astounded.

Now they know. ;D ;D

Of course thanks to your wife for all her work as well.

Welcome Frank :)
I have been kinda wondering when you might start posting your wise words for us  :D
I know the majority of users on here, including myself, stand to learn a lot from your wisdom and experience in both fishing and in life in general.

I would have to agree, as long as the Sockeye numbers are as low as they have been the past few years there is very little chance of catching a Kokanee in Cultus Lake.
Maybe one day we will see a run of 50 000 Sockeye in the lake, then there might be a kokanee fishery as well. ;)

By the way, the Kokanee subject change here is known as "hijacking a thread".
Next time we should perhaps continue on the thread already started :)

Heheeh, my favorite thing is when someone hijacks a thread to talk about highjacking threads..  ;D
