i was fishing the ranger run last week and a guy came flying past me, stopped and said he had to rush down and get a tow truck and police because 15 guys were stranded due to all 4 tires slashed. Anyone elsse hear anything about the upper chilliwack area?

[HOOK]

sounds like vigilante justice for those who decide to poach.......um i mean fish in the Closed limit hole   Sounds like someone has had enough of this.


I have heard of similar tactics done on the Thompson by guys usually towards guys that are tossing guts for steelies (fly guys get worked up about this)

i can't see a fisherman doing this to other fisherman. there is lots of space there so crowding isnt really an issue. I was thinking more of environmentalists or others who think kunting and fishing is wrong.

[HOOK]

a fisherman sure as hell would do this to people that are illegally fishing a closed section of river. I already called in a ton of guys in the summer time. Still have the pics of them and their plate #'s on my phone   even spoke directly with a CO later in the day because i had the people at the hatchery call it in cause there is no cell signal up there.

I have thought about doing something like this but i would never slash tires, letting the air out of them on the other hand is just as effective OR removing the air valve stem LOL


I dont understand these behaviours from people that know full well that the area is closed  

If this was done at another location then i would assume whoever did it was in a very bad mood, obviously from confrontations or something

There is absolutely no excuse, reason or rationale to cause damage to others property. Yes, the limit hole is closed and as far as i know, it's one of the only spots DFO regularly looks at for illegals. If your fishing it, you should be fined by authorities.

[HOOK]

which is why i wouldnt slash because thats VERY expensive but deflating them is more like a prank or lesson teaching  these people know full well they cant fish there and continue to do so anyways. I think the fines should be a higher cost and their gear taken EACH TIME and for every person. DFO/CO 's have the authority to take your vehicle if they want, maybe they need to start that as well now because they normally wont(seen it happen once though)

I have been lucky so far with not being broken into out there however my dads car and a friends car have both been hit, its just a matter of time before its my turn as well  just a matter of time before all of us go back to a broken window on that river system 

the DFO guy told me that they are trying to get a permanent officer for the limit hole, for the peak fishing times at least

vigilante justice???  
you can NOT take the law in your hand.  REGARDLESS
that is even more against the law compared to what those poachers are doing.
the lawful justice against you will be even harsher and rightly justified if doing or supporting that type of practice.

Seems pretty stupid to slash someones tires, as unless you actually see the people stand next to the car there is no way to tell if its theirs or not. Someone else could have parked there and walked down river, the people fishing illegally could have been dropped off. My buddy caught a guy breaking into his car and the cops found the guy knocked out cold with a shattered jaw and his hands tied up with my buddy standing over him . damaging a vehicle is not always smart especially when you don't know who you are messing with.

"vigilante justice", add that to your oxymoron list. Once you stray from the law with righteous justification there is no limit.

How many animal lovers would luv to kick all anglers into a fast stream. Any fish will tell you all forms of fishing is unethical let it be C&R, meat harvesting, flyfishing, gear, ... We may call it a sport, pretty sure fish thinks we're poissonophiles.

[t-bone]

Nothing is justified, not even taking air out of tires. What if the old guy is stuck up there, after dark, no traffic, no phone and health issues. It's stupid from any reasonable angle.

[t-bone]

animal lovers, fishing, don't see the correlation. Its a hatchery program, wouldn't be there if not for animal lovers...

Think raising Cocks for cock fighting.

[troutbreath]

if the car window is open just enough to stuff a moldy salmon into.....

[t-bone]

now THAT i could support!

[burnaby]

+2 on the moldy salmon in the open window or at least on the windshield with a friendly note of "May all poachers and vandalizers Burn in hell"
