if they saw a fisherman with a shotgun fishing on the river?
Eh?       

[TNAngler]

Like slung over his shoulder or actually shooting into the water?  Wouldn't have any issue with the first although I would wonder WTF he was doing as it definitely wouldn't help his casting or fish fighting freedom of motion.

Shooting into the water?  GTFO and call the cops from a very safe distance away.

He can have his pick of waters he wants to fish. No argument from me.

Right, over his shoulder. Not shooting at fish, that's illegal.
Well what he is doing is going hunting after going fishing and some of the areas where the fishing is good, the hunting is good too

If it's a river in the grizzly lands, I would manage to stay close to him! If not, I will just run away...

Note that I would not inquire into WTF he was actually doing and he would get a wide berth.  Any tarp that he drags down onto the beach and then puts concrete blocks in before tossing into a really deep hole in the river would be quickly forgotten and never spoken of again.

Lol, I see and don't inquire why he is washing his hands so hastily.

I saw it twice at the vedder.   First time was at the old Ranger Run area . Second time was at the Allison pool area.

Ask him how his day is going, and if he has had any luck so far.

 Some weird stigma about guns, from the yuppie folks. You shouldn't be worried of a person with a shotgun or a rifle in the bush or on a river that could potentially have bears.

Could happen very easily if someone is hitting some ducks at first light and fishing later (or vice-versa).

You don't want to leave your gun in the truck if you can't drop it off at home.

Lol, I know you are not one of the yuppies.

I would tell him about the big flock of Geese I just seen down the road and when he leaves,quietly stand on the rock that he was on and then start doing Tarzan calls while beating my chest.

What if it's not goose season?

I have fished before with a slung shotgun. This was up in the Terrace area during the September / October run of northern coho.

When you are fishing the Skeena / Lakelse / Exstew / Copper / Exchamsiks; the Grizzlies are as plentiful as the coho !! We were hiking the river, as we did not have the luxury and safety of a boat. There were many locals who claimed that NOT taking a shotgun was dangerous. After a number of trips up there, I have to agree. I never had an issue with any CO / DFO / RCMP who happened to come by.

Probably because you got a shotgun and they got the revolver.
