To The Guy Who Stole My Fish....
« on: November 15, 2014, 02:24:00 PM »

Nov 14. Stave River. The only Clean Doe to come out of the river all day in the rock pool I clearly built for it.

Come on man. Really? Who steals someone else's fish right from behind their back? You should be extremely ashamed of yourself if you read this. Although there is a high chance this individual does not read this forum.

For everyone else, a PSA. Watch your catch at the Stave (if you can get a clean fish whatsoever). Someone is stealing fish.

Ps. I thought about the possibility of an animal/it floating away and neither are possible. The rock pool was built well and the water level dropped over the day by about a foot. Animals big enough to carry a full fish away would have been noticed do to the amount of people present.

Ya I'm sure the 5 guys standing on the beach bottom bouncing beside my rock pool had nothing to do with it....

Although little Weasel would describe that well.

I was fishing on the Campbell River for pinks and had my last fish for my limit. When I went back to where my other fish were there was only 2.
 In my mind I thought, getting old and miss counted. Fish were plentifull so I went back to the run I was fishing and caught another. Came back and wouldn't you know it there was 2. Hmm.
 Moved my 3 fish closer to where I was fishing so I could keep an eye on them. Five mins. later who comes along, Mr. Mink the Thief. He didn't get any more from me that day.

Wel the other reason I find it hard to believe that it was an animal was that there was hundreds of dead fish strewn all over the beach. I highly doubt an animal is going for the hard to get one in the river surrounded by rocks.

Interesting that you openly admit to have killed more than the allowed limit. Shame - shame on you.

I had my fish tacked away in the rocks by a weasel on Capilano one day. I was fishing only 10 meters away and it still managed to stole my fish unnoticed.
