Jack from flybc.ca wanted me to post this for our readers:With the recent discoveries of Pike in the E. Kootenay and Smallmouth Bass in the Quesnel River/Horsefly water shed, I think it's past time that some of these lakes have to be treated with poison in order to save the fishery and other resident species of animals residing in them. These foreign, introduced species will decimate the whole natural system in these waters and as responsible users of the waters of this province, it's time to stop the hand wringing, head shaking and moralistic discussions and actually take action. I have it on pretty good authority that about TWENTY lakes have been identified as "at risk" from foreign species introductions, that could be safely rehabilitated . The fisheries biologists, technicians and managers, that we pay, require a political decision to be made, in order to go ahead.
Won't YOU help make this happen, by emailling the Minister, the Honourable Barry Penner, and indicate YOUR support for the rehabilitation of the waters that have been corrrupted by illegal stocking of foreign species?
Isn't it time to show the bucket brigades that they can't just do whatever the hell they want? Isn't it time to stop the "We know better" crowd? Isn't it time to actually DO something ??
Email Barry Penner, tell him that you strongly support the rehabilitation of water eco-systems that have been contaminated by foreign species stocking.

Thank You.
