Its unclear how it would effect, hatchery terminal fisheries.

IT will probably be the same, but if commercial/FN intercepts higher in the ocean and mainstem then the fishing success may be lower.

With the high water and wet forecast is it safe to say the derby will be rescheduled?

Not reading all that AI slop posted above.

Realistically, how will this affect the regular fisherman joe like me, who likes to fish the local rivers (cap, halis, etc) and take a few fish per weekend home for food?

I have not actually tried these on the river yet because they were bought to try and get around the Dewdney Slough, hence the aggressive studs, but I wasn't ambitious enough to attack the mud after they arrived. There is an ankle strap that I didn't do up for the pic. I used the carbide tipped ones on the ice in Ontario and Quebec after their Ice Storm and they were great. I would have gotten the carbide ones for river banks but these were specifically for the mud. There are lots on Amazon and they are cheap. 

If you like your Simms with felts try searching Amazon for crampons, they have an excellent selection of slip on grips with all types of cleats from aluminum to carbide and they are pretty reasonable. I tried to link to the page but.... technical difficulties.

I wonder Gord, or anyone else for that matter, have you tried such crampons on your wading boots? I've seen purpose made for wading boots that look something like galoshes, I did own a pair, may have them still, they worked ok. These had tread like aluminum bars and cost about as much as new boots. The crampons for hiking boots look like a great value though I wonder how long they will stand up to rocks etc - at least the ones that use bungee cord.

I do still have them. Photos:

These boomers are as stale as 5 year old crackers. Does the country have to be completely destroyed before they finally wake up.
Someone needs take their CBC and The Province newspaper away from them and give them some reliable sources.
I really wonder if it even came down to them losing their OAS and CPP if that would wake them up. Probably not. Most of todays boomers are unteachable stale relics.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I contacted the company from the facebook link provided by Ralph H (Shoe repair by Park). They replied saying they do not do felt/wading boots.
Have not looked into Langley Shoe renew yet.
Message Dan K. on instagram and asked him for a link to his video where he showed how to DYI (I can't find the vid on his Insta, for whatever reason).
May just have to give up, toss the Simms boots, and buy a new pair. Which SUCKS as they are still in really good condition.
I've had like 5 pairs of Korkers in the last 5-7 years. IMO they are crap. One pair inevitably has a failure somewhere and Korkers keeps warrantying them with a new pair. I will say their warranty is good!
I'd just stick with Korkers but IMO every pair I have tried is just not that comfortable.  They are fine for the boat or fall coho where there is little walking. But I find for a day steelheading the Simms G3s I have are HANDS DOWN WAY MORE COMFORTABLE. I wish they'd make a removable sole like Korkers. Such a piss off.....

My favorite lure right now is one that finds a steelhead river that isn't at flood stage.
