One of the best parts was:

>>The citations were given after enforcement officers stepped up patrols during the last week of the steelhead fishing season because of a number of complaints from the public about sports fishers illegally taking wild steelhead from the river....<<

Legal fishermen need to feel obligated and be willing to Turn In Poachers. Yeah, I think it sucks too...but anyone who steals a WILD fish from the river is stealing a portion of the future of that wild stock.

I don't like getting ripped off.

On one hand, I hate the thought of being a "narc", but a crook is a crook. Always have my cell phone on hand when I'm fishing and wouldn't hesitate to call in a poacher. We might not like doing that sort of thing...but it is the right thing to do.
