I hear ya on that. They are really more excited then yourself if you caught one. Fished in Banff on the Bow and the same thing. wish i knew japanese like you mentioned, pretty entertaining though!! oh yea Lake Louise is pretty good for smaller ones on spinners. just walk off the beaten path if you want to avoid tourists.

I see both sides of the story here, but if i walk in to lake on foot iam damgaing these areas as well???? Might as well shoot all the animals their as they walk around and piss and it will destroy the area. Non sense. Writing to your MLA is a waste of time as they have there own agenda and legacy to leave behind. I have wriiten to many government bodies about certain areas that they should be concerned about and recieve nothing, nada as a reply. This issue gets under peoples skin and yes they share there thoughts on forums, isnt that what there here for? Its an interesting topic with many different questions and answers that not everyone will like.

After that incident, we got back to the car and called RCMP. They met us on hwy1 by the creek and explained what happened. Showed em sorta where this guy came from and a description. After a while they found him/his house and his story was that he was chasing coyotes off his property and thought he heard one by the creek. He came over to creek to find none, but two fisherpeople starting it up with him. BS.... RCMP officer says as long as he is on his property with a registered gun, hes okay. I mentioned the SITUATION again to the officer and he was getting mad at us. Officer then has the balls to tell us that the home owner could actually charge us for tresspasing. :$*%&: I explained the high water mark and it didnt matter to the officer, we were still technically trespassing as he stated. I then bluntly say thanks for your help to the officer, we will move on to another piece of water and hopefully not have my wife and i have another damn farmer waving guns at us for fishing cause were on their SACRED land. Definetly put a sour on our day and the RCMP. Just as the above posts say, put some damn signs up or proof you own it. 1 million plus people right on your doorstep, iam positive it will happen again to another person at that location. I am all for protecting your land/property but when people go that far out of there way for a fisherman, its mind boggling.

Yea Jumpingpound is the same. Had a farmer chase me and my wife with his shotgun off HIS creek. This is the section below hwy 1 for about 2-3km. I told this jackass farmer to shot me then if it makes him feel better. His reply was i would but dont want to go to jail.My wife then said you couldve been a little nicer about this and we would fish elsewere as no signs are posted anywhere about not fishing..He then rants off " another city bitch".I then lost it on this redneck. Talk to me like that fine, but why the remarks at the wife??? I could see if we were destroying the fences or what not but we were walking in the creek. We walked IN the creek to fish this section and parked along hwy1. No fishermen should be put in this situation. If i was on YOUR land and trying to steal something, buy all means protect it. If you find my fishing rod and hooks to be a threat, that people have to pull out guns, i hate to see the tank come out if i drove onto your land. Very sad.

Our Government HAS NO INTEREST UNLESS THEY CAN MAKE""""" MONEY"""""" Thats the truth. It will cost them to send a co to check things out, on the other hand iam sure it can make it up with places like Ram area and Livingston area. Ive been out to check them out with the wife quite a few times :$*%&: , and see alot of stupid s&*t going on with atvs and campers CAMPING on the damn FTR itself. At least move off to a flat area and camp there.

Ya its not fun going down their to see every 1000m a camper out there. Those pictures you took are proof of what you are trying to state. Maybe try to email them to SRD in that area and state your cause. I know some people who have, so more the better. As Maxwell feels, i also agree on some sort of regs for that area, like a camping pass for all to use, or an officer checking things out( would be full time officer- no funds for that). It just p**^es people off
