Is it "God bless America" or "This is America"?

Donald Glover is outstanding.

Now this is a fishing video, I know it's random but things are slow here in the peaceful NorthWest.

Hope you are doing Ok after the loss last night. Time you meet with your coach like you did with the Lions coach a few years ago.

You’re right; decontaminating fishing gear is an overstep at this point. I note that the Gov’t of Alberta only recommends decontamination for researchers and fishing guides.

I’ll leave my spray bottle, basin and Quat Plus at home.

I'm not sure disinfecting your gear is necessary or even recommended at this point. Information on line is rather sketchy and inconsistent. Some info out of Oregon where Whirling disease is present but not endemic, suggests cleaning off mud and silt and drying your gear should be sufficient. A good rinse with a spray hose and standard chlorinated water may be enough. I'd also suggest that any non bleach household cleaner should work.

The recommendations from the Province are here:  https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/plants-animals-ecosystems/fish/aquatic-species/aquatic-invasives/whirling-disease#preventing

Also want to note the most at risk species are Rainbow Trout/Steelhead and sockeye. Other species like cutthroat, brook trout and chinook are moderately at risk while the parasite poses a lower risk to most other pacific salmon species, bull trout and dolly varden.

There is a list susceptibility of salmonids at:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonid_susceptibility_to_whirling_disease

I’m planning a 5 day stream fishing trip to an E. Kootenay drainage this summer and I’m re-thinking my bio-security actions.

My gear may not dry overnight so I’ve read that a 10% disinfectant solution is effective. Bleach is not recommended for fishing gear, but Quat Plus appears to be.

Admittedly, bio-security hasn’t been on my radar the past couple of years but I think a basin, spray bottle and a jug of Quat Plus will be part of my packing list this year.
