Eagle Island Resort where I am. You'd swear there wasn't any guidelines set out by the province up here.

You mean the request to avoid non essential, inter community, travel during the May long?

Yes, I would swear that the vacationers at Eagle Island Resort aren’t following the guidelines 😀

Travel is allowed for an ESSENTIAL SERVICE. Fishing is essential under the governments recommendation. Nothing wrong with traveling for fishing.

catch and release angling as an essential service. Is that an example of post modern absurdity?

It's already been stated that hunting/fishing is essential for BOTH food and mental well being....but you were never on the side of the fishermen anyways.....

I think you like looking at what you type and reactions your pretty funny, sure go fishing, get outside, be safe, I think you just sit at home and see what you can type to piss people off, I think Ralph should start a poll, for a few people to see if they need a time out.

I think there are a few people who can't see the humour in some things, but not much more than that.

No need for mob inspired censorship.

Very true RG... you do need to fish more.

You bitter about something?....and I did spend all last weekend fly-fishing the interior and took flak from this message board by some for it. Covid or not, I don't drive up the interior on the May long weekend. I'll be going back this coming weekend I think.

Anyways...not sure how long you've been around, but I've been posting on different sites with Ralph since the late 90s and after 20 years+ it's become obvious to me and to others (and in shorter time), that he is not on the side of the sport fishermen. He never has been. Many many people on different fishing forums have questioned his loyalties in the past and recently (not just me) and many of them will agree his loyalty is not with the sporties…..so when he makes a post like that....I like to remind him that he needs to question himself why he's even here when he could care less whether we ever get to fish again....regardless of the circumstance.

Ok your right, all good.

The guidelines are to hunt and fish LOCALLY (see..my all caps works too!). At it's most generous interpretation by the Province and BCWF, local has been described as same day travel and avoiding overnight trips.

The irony of you being on an overnight trip and saying that others at the resort were not following the guidelines was just too rich to pass up.

I'm on some of the same forums and I don't recall the "many, many" people you speak of. I guess I need to read more closely...

Or just look up what 'loyalty' means.....

I'm not trying to make him look bad intentionally. He does it to himself. Reading his posts....I see a guy that could care less if the sports fishermen ever get a piece of the pie again.....how do you not see that?

I’m familiar with the word.

I was unaware that “many, many people on different fishing forums had questioned his loyalties”. I wondered if that was an exaggeration, or if I was just not reading thoroughly enough.

Funny thing loyalties. Maybe he’s being loyal to (and consistent with) his own values. Isn’t that what we want? People to speak from their own values?  Who am I to dictate what his values must be and what he must be loyal to?

Travel for essential services is ok. Let's not get things mixed up here folks. The is NOT a ban on travel or camping. Never has been. Don't take your anger out on people who actually have the ambition to go camping. You remeber what that was like right ? 50 years ago when you had the strength to do things ? Maybe not.
