Well I've been spending every possible spare second on the Fraser since around March, and have only had a few "incidences" once at Spaghetti bar where I witnessed a fishermen from south of the border yank a sockeye way onto the beach, grab it by it's tail hold it upside down to unhook it, drop it on the rocks, unhook it, then proceed to kick it back into the water. I could feel my blood starting to boil, but I had clients with me so I held back from a good tounge lashing and politely advised this "angler" of the correct way to C&R fish and offered my assistance on any other fish that he caught.
Then last Saturday at Gilligan's, I saw another "angler" whip a pink onto the rocks, stand on the tail unhook the fish, stick his fingers in it' gills to lift it up and ask me if I wanted it because he already had his limit. My hair on my neck was on end and
Blood was boiling again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a "no-show" charter and Some other small run ins but nothing too major.
I can't understand people that pull out a bunch of line out of the water, then take the time wrap it all up nice and neat, then throw it on the ground and leave it on the beach, I just don't get it.
