That little lake should be a fly fishing only lake imo. At least you didn’t name it like last years local lake that got blown up after the video came out.

Shoot I forgot to leave it in the description! Gotta spread the pressure out a bit, I drove by Elbow on the way home, it was a gong show. 🤣

[danielk]

I went by elbo also. What a zoo.  Shoulder to shoulder  I couldn’t get a spot on the rocks.  🤷🏻‍♂️😝


Oh wait I was on bridge lake freezing 🥶.

Where's elbow and what rock do I stand on? 🤣

Interesting to note when the video was shot the lake was empty of people.  After the video came out it was crowded around the bay where it was shot even on weekdays.  Some were even standing on submerged logs. I have fished there a lot and witnessed this with my own eyes and am not making this up. At the risk of getting the boot from this site I will still stand up and speak the truth. Not looking for a fight here. Some might think it’s funny and a joke. Ha ha. I don’t understand why people like to divulge exact locations and blow up fishing spots. That I will never understand.

Well obviously... I never denied that there wouldn't be immediate impact lol. These videos are here to promote stocked lake angling opportunities that are readily available for people to take advantage of and stimulate freshwater fishing licence sales. Yes lakes would get crowded in the short run, but in the long run there will be positive impacts.

And no you won't be booted for telling the truth lol...

Gasps, forever crowded.

All the fishing locations are publicly marked in Gofishbc. And it is to encourage people to go fishing those lake.

So Rod, honest question.

I believe you have done contract work for them before and if so is that generally part of the contract objectives?

if you can't or decline to answer no problem.

It is a public resource and the fish are stocked with public funds so it's not unreasonable. most of those guys will stop going after a trip or two once they catch nothing other than a chill.

which lake is that in the photo. so I know where not to go XD. if you didnt namedrop the new one it must be elbow?

Yeah it is. Over the years (not every year) I am contracted by FFSBC, DFO, the province, HCTF, etc to market their outreach programs. Generally, promoting educated angling, increasing (or sustaining might be a more appropriate work) freshwater fishing licence sales have been the objectives.

I think it's a little ridiculous (not you Ralph) and funny that some think I don't have an idea on how the videos may influence fishing pressure. Yeah, if you go to the said lake the day after the video comes out, don't be shocked that others decide to do the same. Would that fishing pressure persist in the long run, nope.

That was Elbow the day after the video came out last spring.

Carry on, Rod, I think it's great that you're spreading the gospel of fishing. Your videos are what got me back into fishing a decade ago and I hope that you continue to inspire others to do the same.

I don't understand the indignation about making fishing videos at public, stocked lakes. The info is on the GoFish website. It's not a secret. Your videos remind people that there are fish in these lakes and that's fantastic.

If you're bothered by crowds, just avoid that lake for a week. The crowd will move on.
