Sorry JLH but I'm definitely not defending the status quo on that river........give me more gamies! On all the rivers! Don't see a problem with that? Oh and I can't understand how fining a snagger $500 is causing harm to anyone but the snagger....how's that relate to harming fish or habitat? I'd like to see that fine doubled....cause some real harm to the poachers.

Sorry 4Salt but I believe it is only the strong presence of righteous fishers on every single river if we are to find a solution. Over heard a conversation among the locals yesterday on the river....they are real pissed about a bunch of "too serious" fishermen showing up and bringing all this enforcement upon them to ruin their fun. Makes my day to hear that!
