Good post, Rod...why it's so difficult for the very few number of guides up there to see that is beyond me...they clearly want a monopoly on the fishing up there, and no one fishing except those who pay them an arm and a leg will get them that.

The problem is that there are hundreds of other anglers who care about those fish and spend lots of money there...the guides should be embracing those people and taking advantage of their passion and money, rather than pushing away the only allies they'll have in the fight to save Skeena fish.

I sure didn't hear them complaining when all of us non-guided anglers were peppering the DFO with letters about the commercial bycatch of steelhead in the chum fishery...those guys need to get their heads out of their asses.

If enforcement of the existing rules isn't working, their problem should be with those charged with enforcing.

Fish on...
