Skaha, I don't have time to lobby the government to allow pegged beads. This is a fishing forum for general discussion I don't think I've done anything out of the usual here by asking a question. I've sent emails to Fish & Wildlife with no response so I figured I would ask here to see if I could get an answer. Do you also ask every spey fisher you meet to lobby to technically allow tube flies? How would allowing pegged beads suddenly increase the # of anglers overnight? As I have said I can catch fish on a traditional egg fly no problem, I literally just want to reduce mortality as much as possible, please explain what is wrong with this?
--Do I ask spey casters to lobby...Yes, and they do.
--I'm not saying you can't have an opinion...I'm just explaining mine... I haven't alerted the CO's to ensure they check up on you, nor asked the administrators to delete every post that may suggest ways to skirt the law either. Just suggesting that if it is important do something about it. Don't expect someone else to do the grunt work.
--PS... I don't have anything against the use of beads...I used to distribute heavi-beads and use them...except on flyfishing only waters.
--I always encourage others to participate, as much as practicable in resources management decisions...I still believe that there should be time for fishing as well. I don't take up every cause with religious fervor no do I expect others to act on my advice.
--Not everyone is familiar with the processes nor the history of (according to me) resources management. Of course, my views are biased by my experiences.
