No, I've never fished the Fernie area, and with the change to the B.C. regs this year, it's doubtful that I will. The rivers in that area are being changed to classified waters so you not only have to buy a BC licence but also pay an additional $20 fee per day even if you are from elsewhere in Canada. Not good. It's a very big topic of contention in Alberta at the moment.

I'll stick with the Alberta side of the pass. Sadly, a lot more people probably will as well.
