With all respect .......This perhaps should be re-considered,........... I imagine that some of our members are doing their very best using English, one of our official Canadian languages, and which is not their childhood language.

English is not my childhood language either...neither is latin. I don't know a shred of latin aside from scientific names. It is not hard at all...everyone knows how to use Google and Wikipedia...and for most part Wiki is pretty good.

If you or I were to moved to any other country in the world (Greece, Japan, Uganda, Peru...etc), the same would be required of us to know the local language, understand the local fishing regulations and be familiar with the local species just the same. I don't see anything wrong with that kind of requirement at all.

I always believe this...if you can go on the internet, find an online fishing forum relevant to the local fishing scene, read and understand reports on a fishing forum, ask for specific fishing locations, bait and technique and comment on people's catches and pictures, then you should be able to read regulations and find out species information...otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to participate on an online fishing forum. Language is not really an excuse if you can communicate with forum members in a meaningful way...

For example, I can't even begin to search for, or ask about, any fishing information in Spanish...or Greek...or Italian...strangely yet, I can still find fish names and their latin names, even if they are species in Spain, Greece or Italy...
