We all here want to have more opportunities and access while maintaining conservation for future generation , that I believe is near 100% majority consensus! However I have said this before the SSBC IS ONE CLUB, BCFDF, BCWF, TU, BCFFF, etc are others , many of these clubs have intertwined members !, however huge issues like this one dont even come close to grabbing at the politicians because they believe we are fringed and inter fighting amongst us has led to that opinion( bait ban , hatcheries, fly only etc etc) . What I believe is truly needed is a 100% mandatory membership for ALL BC ANGLERS, this could be achieved through a small surcharge on both salt and fresh waters licenses which in turn would make you a member for the year! Then this “club/union/ society/organization would have access to these funds to lobby /bargain and organize the sports community into a very strong voice who’s direction would be dictated through meeting and consensus in directions the majority wanted! All I have to say is look south and see the power and influence the NRA has on voting decisions and see what unification may possibly do for us
