We have such limited enforcement due to financial restrictions, fiscal allotment, jurisdiction overlap… we (BC) have found it much easier to make drastic changes such as close sections of river and restrict access, rather than deal with the bureaucracy that increase enforcement will bring. There are numerous sections of river throughout BC that have been closed due to the actions of a few. If resident and non-resident anglers continue to complain about certain individuals ‘illegally guiding’, something will be done and based on our track record it won’t be for the benefit of ‘all’ anglers.

The problem we face is trying to make it fair for everyone, but continue to reap the benefits of the out of province dollar. Possibly this board has some solutions to our dilemma?
