Annual Loogan Run,West Trib...new (to me) tactics.....

So i stumble across 3 guys on a West Trib yesterday morning...just before first light,they looked a little shady,so i watched them for a few mins from the darkness of the forest...guys proceeded to pull two fish(both hens) from a riffle that was 8 inches deep,by their tails...no rod,no net,no bucket...tried to videotape but no good from 50 yds out...wish i had a slingshot...while the numbers of salmon are pretty low...THE LOOGAN RUN IS IN FULL SWING!!! These guys had 4 hens total...when i passed them on river and mentioned they had a "nice" setup for fishing...(sarcasm of course) the idiots just cackled like it was a great joke...MNR needs to do something,as these guys werent even trying to hide what they were doing!! I told them what i thought of their new technique and continued on my way...this will not stop until some examples are set by MNR...or close the salmon fishery for awhile... Before we have NONE!!

you know, slingshots arent hard to make

espicially in the forest :idea:

I know for sure i will be investing in a slingshot...as an everyday item in my vest Will pack an extra container of 1 ounce egg weights too...you know...for those "special" salmon fisherman

And for the record,i did call MNR and report these "fisherman"

meh why not give em a taste of their own medicine, throw large trebles with 9 ounce weights

Brutal. Did they take them with them? A licence number would be helpful to the CO's. I think we need a neighbourhood watch for the rivers, a goon squad doling out their own justice.

The west is like mid summer trickle

I managed to get a TONNE of evidence on this one guy today, emailing the MNR now

^nice

Too bad the MNR doesn't respond for 2 weeks +

last time I reported it took 3 weeks
