I'm wondering: have any of you ever been approached/questioned by field enforcement officers for possessing FRESH (not cured) salmon eggs that were given to you by some other fisherman who did not want them? For example, a fisherman is cleaning his catch on the riverbank and gives the eggs to you...

From my reading of the rules, it should be legal to take the eggs from the other fisherman, without having to do anything special (like getting the name, address, etc. of the person who actually caught the fish)... The rules only prohibit you from, I believe, retaining only the eggs and not the body of the salmon that you have personally caught yourself.

Still, I can see a situation where the gamie gives you a funny look while you walk away from the riverbank with a plastic bag full of 2-gallon's worth of fresh egg skeins...
