    Bass pro shop buying access to closed fishing areas from natives

    https://www.thenorthernview.com/news...-fishing-trip/

    Might be the best news I've seen in a while. Hopefully this can set a precedent as to who should be in control of wildlife management in this province.

    Anyone with half a brain knows that stringing gillnets top to bottom across the river mouths and then dip nettting the few stragglers that manage to get by will devastate salmon stocks. Calling FN food fishing anything but a free for all native s cash cow is also very naive... So for FN s to be leasing out their government given cash cow to rich whities seems about on par with the way this government runs things ... and I imagine will become the norm. Maybe once the Stuard s of the land and sea have fully devastated their ( yes their, cause the rest of us ain't included) natural resources, they will move on to claiming our cities as well. I've always said that until the politicians and law makers of this country start having their own property s and lives taken away or negatively affected by FN s so called rights ,nothing will change . Enjoy your hunting and fishing while it lasts , cause the writing is on the wall .
    Sorry to be so negative, just calling it as I see it. Hope I'm not being too politically in correct ?

    Who sold them the rights? Who provided the permits? Who is selling salmon all over the province? I will still buy there, but not one voluntary nickle to the real perpetrators. I cannot help it when my tax dollars to to governments who back them.

    When possible, I always buy from Reliable or Italian in the LM.
    Yes, I go to Cabelas or Bass Pro, but just to try on sizes etc, or get ideas.
    Places like Berry's or local fly fishing shops for that activity.

    Support you "small family guys" when you can folks.

    I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...
