a friend of mine may have an opportunity to move to alberta, but the rub is fishing. he primarily fishes migratory salmon & steelhead in rivers in ontario, and weather dependent, fishing is available almost 9 months out of the year. he does a bit of river fishing for bass, pike, etc, but the main focus is salmon/steelhead.
the job is actaully a transition from the manufacturing sector to the exploration sector. and with 4000 manufacturing jobs being lost a month in canada, this is a major consideration.
other positives include scenery (rocky mountains, NWT terrirorties is a days drive etc, more wildlife) so photography possiblities are greatly increased.
now he has a copy of the Alberta fishing regs & a fishing guide. from the west border of alberta to the east border of alberta, it has over 500 lakes, rivers & streams listed. lots of residental trout opportunites, lakes with pike, pickeral, etc (though he does not own a boat)
looking for opinions on as weather you would move or stay in ontario. would also be interested in hearing from anybody who does fishing in the edmonton area
thanks in advance
