toolman Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Well, 2008 is shaping up to be a great year. I got to bust three poachers chucking bait and whacking trout on the Bow this afternoon....Multiple charges laid, trout seized. Man, its only January and I got three notches to put on the cork already. Remember, it's everyones responsibility to call RAP to report violators. Please take the time and do what's right to help protect our resources. We owe it to our kids. The RAP program only works if we do our part. Big Thanks and congrats to the C.O.'s at Fish Creek Provincial Park and the fine folks at RAP. Well done! Quote

alhuger Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Just out of curiosity how close did you have to get to tell they were poaching? Quote
cheeler Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 They were some pretty dumb ones, walked up and started fishing about 50 or 60 ft downstream of Toolman, with 3 more of us there. Quote
maxwell Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 i cant speak for this example today al but in teh past if i see them diggin in bait tubs..fork sticks kickin back or someone with fish on a stringer, bag etc..i call it in...alot of them are just ignorant and will tell ya what tehre doin and show u the big catch with no real clue they are doing anything wrong....most dotn have liscences either if u ask...then comes the ringalingding Quote

grannyknot Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Good stuff Toolman! Three poachers and it's only Jan 5, looks like the rest of us have some catching up to do. Quote
Maximum Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Right on Greg, way to put these guys in their place! Quote
CDone Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 3 down many more to go, have to make sure I've got the number programmed in my new phone. They couldn't have been the most experienced poachers around, normally when you pull out a cell phone and start talking on it when poachers are around they tend to high tail it out of there, these guys just kept on casting oblivious to anything, next time though I won't be talking to the wife I'll be calling the CO's.
