---I expect it has more to do with the culture of MOE vs Fish and Wildlife... its ok to buy a license and there is a limit set (supposedly for conservation reasons) then a bunch of rules put in place to ensure it either takes a long time or it is difficult to catch the individual limit.
---Limit your catch don't catch your limit slogans etc.... if the limit is set based on conservation requirements, rod days and other hocus pocus then it should be OK to catch a limit.'... if it is not OK then the Limit should be changed..
--I am not arguing for the elimination of regulations that are intended to provide different experiences in fishing such as catch and release trophy lakes nor for areas of special permit with strict total quota limits etc.
--Presumably an underlying them of one size fits all in simplified regulations is that there is no one to enforce nor monitor special areas that require more complex management.
--Maybe when they get the sewer hook ups for residents around Skaha lake they could conscider chumming for carp... I can only imagine what is happening around the province with high water tables in areas with septic or outhouses that have been grandfathered. I cannot believe chumming except in a very small pond would be an issue... I see the virtue of not chumming with meat or fish products but boiled vegetables? Whats the issue other than culture?
