I wouldn't go that far lol - . I cycled pillings/hopedale/kwb all day today
KBW, Browne and Wilson rd for me today, nothing to hand but connected with a nice coho a little bit past first light.
Question for some, probably applicable to most. What is the view on working through/lowholing a fencepost? Is there any ethics anymore to be had during salmon season on these hatchery rivers? Ie. stepping in and working a drift around a pylon fishermen to probe the flow. If I'm working through a run and somebody fenceposts below, can I sting them at the knees accidentally on purpose to move them.
Granted salmon are migratory and moving and everyone knows the traffic on that river in season. Just looking to clarify some things.
Hmmm... stinging someone at the knee is probably a very bad idea, I'd just talk with the angler in question to see if they would mind if you shifted below them. Generally I've found most people to be totally fine with it aslong as you talk with them first but there might be the odd person out there who it depends on how you want to approach ie waiting for them to leave, just moving around them anyways or seeing if you can reason with them.
On another topic... parking at Wilson road is a no-no now, no parking signs all over the place even on the main road to the gravel area where there is space for parking. Couple guys get parking tickets and buddy talked to by-law and said that they just put in the no parking signs about two weeks ago so no parking on the streets and in the gravel area and tickets and tows will given to those who do.
Looks like we are loosing parking areas on certain areas of the river, I wonder if they will open the gate to allow access down to the river from there or not.
