My only complaints go to the guys who 1. Try to get 'their spring' and in the process end up hooking an extra 20 sockeye aong the way and 2. The guys who are too lazy to wear waders and release fish properly. Mind you I only fished 2 days and got my 2 fish and got the hell outta there as fast as possible.

Well I've been spending every possible spare second on the Fraser since around March, and have only had a few "incidences" once at Spaghetti bar where I witnessed a fishermen from south of the border yank a sockeye way onto the beach, grab it by it's tail hold it upside down to unhook it, drop it on the rocks, unhook it, then proceed to kick it back into the water. I could feel my blood starting to boil, but I had clients with me so I held back from a good tounge lashing and politely advised this "angler" of the correct way to C&R fish and offered my assistance on any other fish that he caught.

 Then last Saturday at Gilligan's, I saw another "angler" whip a pink onto the rocks, stand on the tail unhook the fish, stick his fingers in it' gills to lift it up and ask me if I wanted it because he already had his limit. My hair on my neck was on end and Blood was boiling again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I had a "no-show" charter and Some other small run ins but nothing too major.

 I can't understand people that  pull out a bunch of line out of the water, then take the time wrap it all up nice and neat, then throw it on the ground and leave it on the beach, I just don't get it. ???

Well, I am no angel!  I have done some stupid things but I am always learning! I generally learn from watching others and then asking questions!
