Just wondering what everyone thinks about poaching in our lakes and rivers. I was just looking through some of the photos. I noticed some stuff that I really didn't like. The biggest concern for me is the taking of bull trout. I don't know if those pics are recent, but I am sure that you couldn't keep a bull trout for a long time in Alberta.

Might have jumped the gun, looks like they might be from the BC side. Well at least I hope they are.

First thing is that people should report poachers !!!  There are many ways that one can do it without having your name known for the pouchers to harrass you !!!

And the courts have to hammer these people when they are charged !!!    None of this Suspended Sentence crap - max out the fine and put the money to some good use !!!   And ban these people from owning a licence for a minimum of 5 years - not that a devoted poacher would really worry if he/she didn't have a licence !!!

Just my 2 cents worth...
