Being an English teacher, I see no racism in promoting the use of proper English.
That said, why are we even having this silly discussion on this thread?
Snaggers and poachers come in all colours and scents, and the fish don't speak English anyway.
Vedder is a meat fishery as are other major hatchery enhanced systems.
That's why it's so busy.
This, however, doesn't give people the right to do whatever they want.
So we just have to be active and in the face of those who are breaking laws intentionally.
And educate.
Establish good communication channels with the Fisheries people and the police so that they listen to you when you call them.
I can tell you I sure am.
I don't fish with the crowds too often but when I do some people don't like me.
Fisheries people should use the few dedicated fishermen and give them authority to inspect people's catch and remind and educate people about regulations.
Just like they have broodstock fishermen, they should have an education squad so that you can help educate those who want to know and prevent poaching by those who don't care.
Good post, Adriaticum. It pretty much mirrors my views.
