this morning i started fishing at vedder arounf 5:50am. one of local dude came to me and told rudely "it is dark you cant fish yet".
I explained him about the definition of "daylight hours only".
he didnt get it.... he said he is a something fishing guide, thus he knows everything..  blah..blah.. .

"Daylight hours" is usually defined as: FN0754
"Fishing is allowed during daylight hours only from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset.  Check your local newspaper for these times."

sun rise at chilliwack was 6:43 am today. you can start 5:43 am.

why didn't you tell him go fk off and call if you are so concerned?

he is not allowed to harass people that way.

Im a Guide.....Im a Guide.............................IM  A GUIDE..........   Dont Argue!

[azafai]

yeah ...
but he was not a CO.

[BigFisher]

Thanks for the Glow sticks, I had your back if that KNOB tried anything. He was just being a bitch because he didnt wake up early enough and get his spot. I love how he was yelling cupcakes at you, and then finishing by saying " I AM A GUIDE"...

That doesn't sound like much fun at 6 am.

hi Bigfisher.
it was good to see you again.
i think he is a good guy.
he tried to enforce others to keep the rule.  
the problem was the thing he believed was wrong.
if he asked me more politely, i would wait until sun rise to make him happy.

I think the guy just wanted your spot. Just where were you fishing again ?

[Rantalot]

Too funny I would have asked him if could take his pic so i could put with the fishing report write up !

[blaydRnr]

my rule of thumb is if you can see what you're doing then it's ok to start fishing...if you need glow sticks to see in the dark then i would ask why would you start fishing? just a rhetorical question...i know sometimes i want to get the first cast in at dawn when fish are most likely to bite at the first 'food' they see, but other times it can cause more problems than good.

[glycine]

blaydRnrare you the guide?

i respect your rule of thumb. but im not interested.

[blaydRnr]

blaydRnrare you the guide?

i respect your rule of thumb. but im not interested.

No i'm not the 'guide'...and yes it's just my opinion and i don't recall disrespecting your views...so i guess attitude goes both ways, so don't act like you've been victimized because you obviously have a chip on your shoulders.

[blaydRnr]

by the way if glow sticks are used on the float as i've seen people do from time to time...it is illegal....once again just pointing something out for those who may not know.

[Geff_t]

Yup if you need glow sticks to see what your doing then why fish. Remember if you can not see what your doing then chances are the fish can not see it either.
I always say that if I can not see my float then I wait till I can.

People make mistakes. That's the nature of things.
If you are confident you are correct there is always a civilized way of communication.

Last year some dude, who looked like he knew what he was talking about, screwed up my buddy's day by telling us that we had to stop fishing after we caught our limit of salmon.
He said we have to stop fishing altogether that we couldn't do C&R either.
I didn't limit out so I could fish, but my friend had doubts so he stopped fishing (and it was early in the morning).
I was 99 % sure, this guy is telling us this so we leave. But that 1% of doubt won.
The guy put a big doubt in both of our minds.

Of course when I came home I checked the regs and realized that the dude should have been sent swimming.

Know your regs.
