All,,, I wanted to alert our Sturgeon fishermen out there that the MOE is considering a new stamp for Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser. MOE wants a surcharge for sturgeon to "study" the fishery, its impact, etc.. This is currently under review and is being fought by various interest groups due to the fact that there is a wealth of data already which is available from the folks doing sturgeon guiding, including the tagging program. Anyway, my intent isn't to start a debate about this but to bring you the info on meetings to be held with the public regarding the initiative. Here are the meeting locations. I know a lot of guys on the board enjoy this fishery and might want their voices heard at the public meetings. I personally think this is a money grab and dont think another stamp is going to benefit anyone but the governments pocketbook.
