will Covid 19 shut down fishing opportunities ? Yes, I was supposed to be at Tunkwa lake for seven days last week. A trip I started 47years ago with my father and continued even after he passed. Thought I’d post this to steer away from what has become a dumpster fire of a topic. Anyone else missed any trips ?

Nope....many tackle shops are reporting that no one from the LM is getting a hard time from anyone in the Princeton/Merrit/Kamloops area this year. Tonnes of guys are going fly fishing right now. But if you try to stay overnight....that's apparently where the problems start. Also, if they see 4 of you in one boat, you better be living under the same roof. Other than that, it's Stillwater season as usual.

Been on Alouette  and Chilliwack lakes many moons ago...as after mainly fished salt...
From memory the south end had old trees under the surface of the water in a large area?
Is my memory right on this?
Thinking good place to get snagged.
Chilliwack was no limit on Kokenees ...40 caught even...
Big dollies on ford fender ..troll set up.
That ford fender really bend the rod.
Deep lake ..at that time word was fish more 1/3 south-west side of lake.
Think it is in this area somewhere a SUV went off the road into a lake 4x4 road I guess.
Did not catch news lately but heard alittle.
But never fished Stave Lake.

There were many Liberals and Democrats that couldn't stand Obama and/or Hillary too. Lots of liberals can't stand JT either. What's are you trying to say?

LOL!

If you look at Presidential approval/disapproval polling - 10 to 25% of voters registered as Republicans do not approve of Trump at any given times. That's on the order of 3 to 7 million depending how much of an idiot he makes of himself.

Compare that to registered Democrats who approve Trump in the range of 5 to 10%.

Before he even thought of running for the Republican nomination it was widely recognized that Trump, as a business person,  was as close to corrupt as they come, that's why Alan Lichtman who predicted Trumps election in 2016 (and every Presidential winner for the previous 8 elections) also predicted he would be impeached in his first term, which he was.

Yes there were Liberals  & Dems who didn't like Obama or Hillary (neither was or is a Liberal, particularly in US terms), that's a natural part of politics, but try to find many who voted for McCain, Romney or Trump.

Of course you'll never understand.

Missed many so far.

2 interior annual fly fishing trips and many on my boat fishing for Sturgeon. Hate staring at my tarped boat waiting for things to get better. Oh well, lots of yard work and craft beer to consume. ;)
