The federal and provincial govts of British columbia and Canada are trying their best to kill off the sportsfishing industry .It is getting in the way of their aquaculture interests.If you have been following the story ,the fish travelling past the fish farms are being infested with sea lice and to all smolts this is fatal.
In Vancouver ,there was just a meeting of the worlds leading experts on oceans and our minister of fisheries didn't even show up.
The latest abomination is that they will be splitting up fish allocations 3 ways ,with commercial ,sportfishing interests and natives each getting a equal share ,although sportfishing and it's spinoffs pour huge dollars back into the economy and the other 2 interests,well,you know.
