I live in bc , on the lowermainland and I have quit fishing the hatchery rivers out in the fraser valley due to having my truck keyed and broken into too many times. It is a huge problem out there now. One day in october, 17 cars had their windows smashed out at wilson road on the vedder.
I had one buddy get his truck stolen while out fishing and they cut his boat trailer off so it was screwed also.
On the chehalis river, most of the fishing is done just upstream of an indian reservation and there are days when almost every car is vandalized . The whole experience fishing fall run salmon out there is just crap. It will cost you more fixing the problems than going out there is worth. I don't think it's a "hate americans" attitude, but more of a "screw the fishermen" type of thing.
It seems that the lowermainland has too many thieves and crooks too close to the boat launches and popular fishing holes now just waiting to break into or better yet, steal your rig while you are fishing
Now when I go fishing, I just go to the less crowded, not so many a**holes , type of rivers. I can enjoy my day a lot better when I know it's not going to cost me $500.00 to fix my truck again.
