Having lived in Baynes Lake when the Kootenay flowed freely it is startling to return and see lots of squished campgrounds. Surely a reasonable fee is not discriminatory??
It is not unusual to charge out of province/country people more for acccess to our resources. We can only hope they would be used wisely.
We used to fish for food in Baynes Lake itself but it is disapponting how much of it is blocked to access now.
Catch and release is the way to go unless you could prove some need to fish for food. Surely, we all would not like these rivers/lakes to end up similar to West Coast salmon.
And… does anyone from Baynes have any of its history??
