I think it's appropriate now to put this cartoon up again.
I'm not sick of the topic, I just let Dion deal with the mess.
It's the same predictable pattern each year so there's no need to lose any sleep over it. Winter steelhead fishing slow, finger pointing starts, flossing this, snagging that, hot spotting when water level low, no that's a rainbow trout not a cutthroat trout, flyfishing? No, you're flossing. Your rod is too light, you're killing the fish. That setup is too heavy, where is the sport in that?
Then steelhead fishing picks up, everybody happy, out fishing, but shh, don't post let the words out. Where are the reports? This forum is not like the way it used to be, I'm out of here. Someone posts a report, too many photos, show off, what a hero, what happened to the good ol' days? The "I'm out of here" guy is back, "Where were you fishing?", Find your own spot! Do some exploring for once.
Spring arrives, steelhead fishing slows down. Guy catches catchable rainbow trout, posts reports, happy about first ever trout. Hey! Those lakes should be limited to kids. Why are you taking pictures of farmed fish? You know what's going to happen now right? The lake is going to be packed tomorrow and in no time it'll be empty by all the poachers, who are lurking on the net to find fish, unlike me.
Interior lake season starts. Everybody catches big feisty trout. Happy people, out fishing, no time to post reports, quiet forum. Hey, this forum is dead, this is pathetic, that's what happens when people bash others' reports.
Fraser River salmon season starts, chinook estimates out. Sockeye projection begins. Where are all the fish?? They're netting 24/7, no wonder there are no fish. They're out flossing, no wonder there are no fish. Barfishing? Only those elitists do that, they're so hypocritical because they're also killing the same fish. Flossers, they're just out for the meat unlike us.
Sockeye season opens, oh great, now everyone who's not in for the fishing will be out, I have to stand even higher to look down now. Sockeye season closes, my dog can manage these fish better than DFO scientists. Why are they netting?? Isn't the stock endangered?
Chilliwack River fall salmon season starts. Sockeye talk stops. Did you see what that guy did today?? I yelled at this guy today and he gave me this hand gesture in return. That guy limited out today on coho, he's gotta be flossing. No, it's not flossing, it's snagging. He's a snagger. Yeah, he's a poacher.
Coho season ends, I can't believe how pathetic the fishing is this year.
November/early December, so how about those Fraser sockeyes this year eh? Did you know my dog can manage those fish better than DFO scientists? Pathetic.
Stamp steelhead season starts, ya, those flossers, I can't believe how downhill this river has gone now.
Anyway, carry on.
If this is what you do for entertainment, I hate to see when you have a bad day.
It is so tough to be a fisherman in BC lol...
