Urban Poaching

Very upsetting and sad to see.. How can you be down so bad to be poaching salmon from a small creek like this >:( . These people need to be fined 1000's of $ and maybe then they'll learn a lesson. Apparently also at Stoney Creek in Burnaby lots of people have been letting their dogs go in the water despite signs not to. This also is deserving of a fine in my opinion.

“1,500 salmon-related violations this year in the Lower Fraser region”
I know they mean ticketed, but really feels like a daily number.

This is what happens when roe gets expensive.

Perhaps they should sell Atlantic salmon roe

Really frustrating to hear. Have heard of this on other small rivers recently also. I guess I should have kept more of the coho roe from this years mega bounty. I have enough for my tomato seedlings next spring maybe I should sell that lol

I'd like to see a province-wide ban on fishing with roe.
Artificials only, with leader length restricted to 30" maximum.

Heck, more than half of current anglers would just stop fishing, LOL.

Keep dreaming Milo. :P

It's a new account, created today, posting a Youtube link in an unrelated thread. Looks like it's trying to get some hate for that video. I wonder why?

wood shampoo and and a line of boats in the background.

PS: the videos on the channel are very triggering so, if you don't want your blood pressure to spike id suggest not watching them.

What a world it would be if people would talk with the people that are bugging them and let them know instead of creating multiple fake accounts and trying to generate outrage online. If you don't want your real name associated with your complaints then maybe they aren't worth sharing.
