To be honest the Rec had little or nothing to do with this. First the river had been flooded with hatchery fish for years creating a opening for abuse and as in all things there are those that do things like that. If the river was closed it would go on regardless, in fact I imagine that it even makes it more difficult for poachers the river being open. So again this had zip nada not a damn thing to do with the Rec fishers but rather bandits running a muck as they have for years minus enforcement.

Now what I find amazing is that the agency even was aware let alone see it. If it was enforcement that found them that would be a seismic shift as it had to be near a road! If the redd counters that is good sign.
