I had a strange encounter on Fraser yesterday. As I was fishing, an aluminum boat went close by to the shore with 2 guys in it. The one was driving the boat the other was periodically taking pictures of the shore?/fishermen?/fishing spots?. They looked like they were in some kid of uniform and had high risibility wests on.
Anyone has any idea what was that about? ???
-
Maybe they were filming all the secret fishing spots so they could post them on the internet?? :-\

Same thing happened to me down by No. 3 Road. The boat came within 25 feet from shore. One of the occupant had a binocular trained on the fishermen. I suspect they were checking to see whether we were using treble or barbed hooks.

To check to see if you using barbed hock he would have to use the Hubble instead of a binocular. ;D

Not when they were that close to shore. :D

The point is that we don't know who was that.

Curiosity should not be confused with negativity.
Stu, describe the uniform, then I maybe able to answer your question.

I think they were Google "Fish-Maps" guys; soon all fishing spots everywhere will be superimposed onto Google Maps. ???
-
Maybe taking pics of the land as possibly the land will up for sale for some house or commercial constrution so pics show the shoreline "area" etc for developement.... (wild guess ???)

Could have been students doing some sort of geographic studies, or a company doing the same thing.

The boat I saw was very similar to this one:

As for the uniform, I said: it looked like they had some kind of uniform (it could have been just the same rain jacket I didn't have my binoculars with me), and they had high vis. vests on.
It don't think it was DFO.

There are alot of lumber purchasers in town right now maybe them if there were any log booms nearby.

Don't be surprised by anything you see on the Fraser.It attracts all kinds of people there every year.One of the most accesible and crowded rivers in B.C.Any thing and every thing happens there all the time.Go to Gill rd and have a look around there if you don't believe me.

Could be a creel survey. Take pictures and review them once back at the office for a more accurate count. All important info in determining the numbers of fish that head for the spawning grounds.
Same with the creelers on the vedder, island 22 etc. Give them your 5 minutes of time, it all helps in the end.

Sorry guys. It was my wife. She sent them out because I was not home in time. Those were tazer guns they had. I have only been tazered once for being late. Now I can recognize them and I put on those funny big nose glasses with the mustache. Sorry about the confusion. Like someone on here wisely said and I have kept repeating during the last half hour of fishing. It is easier to apologize than ask. I liked that one. ;) :)
