Guys with names like Muddyriver and Paleface fish the Grand. Hummm??
27 Sewage plants on the Grand serving 700000 people. I wonder where the sewage from the Big Horseshoe goes. Gerritt, hard to find clean water now a days anywhere.
The only way the GRCA and other "Friends of the Grand" will get any funding to do their job, or to have at least something to show for,...is to make things really bad first. In this case the Grand, in other cases Gun control, Global warming, you name it. They need bad studies and horrible scientific data to push through a new plan and have every little guy think that the government is doing an awesome job. You can't fix if there is nothing wrong.
From what I read is that the water has gotten better since the 60's but could use just a little more 'help', so more rules and regs for urban development, roads, pestisite use etc etc, simply more rules and regs and.. more rules coming our way, all they have to do is put out some bad data, eventhough the river is better than 40 years ago.
Next time you catch a fish from the Grand, take it home and enjoy. Just not around Kitchener. I think Fishmaster has minnows, he might be out now, but he will get some again.
