too bad. i think they should implement a bait ban. help preserve our stocks etc. and it would mean more and beter fishing for us flychuckers.

who me? nope. no joke. i extremely rarely use bait. when float fishing (rare) i use wool. sometimes i use spoons. 97% of the time thopugh i use fly. on lakes i use nothing but fly.

lol. ok ok, i admit, i have been known to use roe once or twice when the water was not "fly-able" and i admit to bottom bouncing for sockeye and springs on the fraser. i ain't no purist, but really i wouldn't be too choked about a bait ban.
cheers.

if there was a province wide bait ban just think of the older fisherman that bar fish the lower fraser who can't make it to rivers like the vedder and so on! all they got is fishing the bottom with roe! and the total take home catch on the fraser for coho is nothing in compairison to what we all take outta the vedder,harrison,norrish,chehalis and so on! Bar fishing is all they got it would be a shame if that were to ever happen and i hope it don't for i fish the fraser myself for coho in oct,nov......

remember when you were a little kid fishing with a worm/bobber?thats where it all starts.thats our next gen. anglers,buying lisences and supporting hatchery programs so we can enjoy the fishery we take advantage of every day.theres a big push to introduce young kids to fish.

This is a completely pointless discussion. Read Bill Otway's column in this month's BC Outdoors Sport Fishing magazine. Environment Minister Barry Penner has announced that there will be no province wide bait ban and further there will be no region wide bait ban in regions 1 and 7. All future bait bans will have to be justified on a stream-by-stream basis and all proposals will have an open dialogue with the angling community.
For crying out loud guys it was a joke! I catch a ton of fish on bait and know a whole wack of people who swear by it. ..........C'mon guys chill out and let the thread go, it was for April fools and hopefully a good laugh.So much fir that idea1
