In my opinion, this is a serious problem. I fish B.C. and Alberta every year and have been treated with respect always. But in the last couple years I have seen USA fishers drive north to BC in huge pickups with a chest freezer in the bed, filling the freezer then plugging it in to cheap electricity to take a bunch of dead fish home when their trip is over. I think that this sends the wrong message. We are supposed to be SPORT fishers, not commercial guides.
B.C. is responding by restricting our opportunity on many rivers, notably the Dean and Babine. I can't blame them.
Just my $0.02.
