Title: Ukee Police & DFO Presence
Post by: IronNoggin on July 13, 2013, 01:27:29 PM
Just a Head's Up to any who might be fishing the Ukee / Barkley Sound area in the next while...

For the past week there has been a HUGE presence of RCMP, Parks & DFO both out on The Pond, in the Harbor and Dockside. They are targeting on every single sport rig they run across - looks to be some kind of training mission of sorts.

Got pulled over for the standard equipment / papers / license / barbless near Swale the other day, and Buddies have had the same (some actually boarded) from as far as Long Beach down to the whole of the Sound. Ladz I ran into were quite courteous, and went about their business with a friendly attitude. Of course we too were polite and accommodating, smiling and joking as we reminded them that slack tide was nearly upon us.  ;)

Good idea to run over all of your equipment and paperwork if wandering out there! They will be on the prowl for the Bad Actors (Nailed a few already! Good Work Gentz!) for the next little while...

Cheers,
Nog
