Title: Id Like to post a concerining report from jan 13th. Hopedale train bridge.
Post by: Brian the fisherman on January 14, 2012, 11:39:39 PM: I found some guys who seemed very upset. Yelling. not at each other though... at a situation they uncovered. I asked them whats up and they explained that they found a 9 pound doe wild. caught on some logs under the water. still chrome and freshish. 1-2 days max. It was slit open and the roe was missing. on the yarrow side of the bridge. So i raced down to see if it was still there. which it was. other fisherman were shocked just as everyone was.
I will post pictured once i get my cell phone cord back from my parents.

I just don't understand why someone would do that.
just ridiculous. ???
Anyone else see this ?

At least those fish are a lot more abundant than a wild steelhead. Well, although you dont state its a steelhead, I will wager a guess that it is.

I also noticed a dead trout 10 feet up from the doe. Couldnt have been there longer than a day. We have to defend our resourse, cause our goverment isnt.

Post by: Trout Slayer on January 15, 2012, 04:56:41 PM: Before jumping to conclusion that someone just slit this fish for its berrys, has anyone thought maybe it was a dead one seen floating in the river possibly dieing from being hooked or whatever and someone just took the roe out of the fish because it was allready dead??? If it was indeed killed for the roe though there is a major issue out there with poaching.

Post by: JPW on January 15, 2012, 07:17:48 PM: What time did you see this, because myself and a couple buddies saw a very fresh wild doe hung up on logs in that area around 10am, but it wasn't slit open. Wondering if it was the same fish or another dead wild one :(
