when i first saw the post i saw someone (i've never met anyone on this board) yellin' "ya! look at these bad boys i found on frenchman's creek woo hoo!" i immediately thought wow nice fish but even as fast thought that those fish should never have been fished for because they are obviously spawning. you looked and sounded like a sport fisherman at that point, not a scientist or assistant. taco's not exactly smooth or graceful or even polite but he said what a bunch of us were thinking. you get booted for not having tact? great fisherman and valuable contributers quit the forum because taco cant express himself less offensively? that's too bad. i love a great debate even if it gets down and dirty, makes for great entertainment. i cant believe 10 words from taco caused not only him getting booted but glenbow leaving when it should've started a healthy debate. at the least we should try that debate: why the hell are those streams open to fishing when the bulls (alberta's fish, endangered species) are in spawn?
