I was on the Elwah this fall fishing for summer-runs. It was a really neat river which is pretty much roadless and lots of great flywater for steelies.

Anyways I dont remember how many dead 'Nooks I counted with their bellies slit open. What for? Eggs!

It sure managed to ruin an otherwisse great day on a beautiful river with lots of spawning kings around.

Another reason to ban fishing with roe. I know you will say anyone that poaches fish just for eggs will not have a problem fishing eggs illegaly but it is a lot easier to catch a guy fishing eggs then one who sneaks down to the river in the middle of the night, snags a fish, swipes the eggs and is gone in 2 minutes.
