Fishing in British Columbia > Members' Fishing Reports
Cap June 10
FISH187:
I think the natives who illegally harvest salmon tend to stick to areas where they won't get hassled as much. On their reserves they do whatever they want being out of normal jurisdiction. I mean the law says you can't keep a foul hooked fish, so that should go for everybody, no matter what race.
FISH187:
Can't we all just get along and catch fish legally in the chops.

>:( You would think with all the digital cams these days that record short movies ... One could get and post video of these idiots... caught in the act. No commentary or acusations ( for legal reasons) just the video.
CJ ;)
FISH187:
In order to do so you would have to hide, not let them see you. Most people who keep foul hooked fish, know they are breaking the law. If somone else is there, they will most likely let the fish go. This guy thought he would fool everyone by moving out of sight to kill the fish. I saw that fish in the water, and it wasn't swimming right during the battle. It would be tough to get it on camera.

Hey, man, this type of snagging and killing happens all the time at the Cable pool and I don't even fish the Cap. I love to go run there and sometimes I stop by to watch the snaggers before dark. I've seen that too many times and it's absolutely sickening. One night I saw a couple of dudes, like the ones you described, walk out in the dark with huge sacks full of fish, man. And the friggin' bag looked really heavy. Too bad, man. Such a nice river screwed over by bogus snaggers and rank amateurs.
