Good to hear from you, Paul. I deduce that recreational fishing is not
going to take place for a while in Kejimkujik. There should be updates
on our website.
Things are changing daily with regards to what we can do/cannot do to
play it safe against Covid-19. Right now, non-essential staff cannot
report to Kejimkujik, and cannot conduct field work, though myself and
others have heaps of work. I have shifted to working on many other
things from home, and won't run out of work for a solid two months or
more if I have to stay put. Some of us have been asking if exceptions
can be made to conducting some of our spring field work, much of it is
time-sensitive, and can be carried out in isolation (we are dedicated
and want to do it), but so far, the health mandate takes precedence, so
it's a 'no go'. Understandable.
But Paul, fishing is a 'solitary sport', or at least it can be. (I have
seen your species behave gregariously, too, but then pass many hours
alone in chest high water. Strange lot. lol) I can envision you
heading to the hinterlands to a secret fishing hole (you must have
dozens of them filed away in that mind of yours). You'll find a way to
fish, as long as we are permitted to do so (recognizing that
instructions are changing daily to protect our well-being).
May 'trout fever' be the only type of fever you encounter in the weeks
and months ahead.
Cheers!
Donna
