Just ran in to a guy fly fishing with live bait (dew worms) ........., it gets better. I had my daughter with me so I tried to be as polite as possible. I was up on a bridge looking down at him and his female companion . I told him he is not allowed to fish and he says since when. At this point I'm trying so hard not to flip my lid in front of my kid , so I respond nicely since mid August. He just looks and says , I did not know that. I told him to look up the Regs and that they are accessible on the net. At this point I'm thinking wow can't believe this guy, is he pulling my leg, how the hell. And this is the part that really freaked me out. While he was packing his crap to leave I walk back lean over the rail and ask him what species he was fishing for. He looks up and says BASS. OMG , guy read the regs I yell at him. All the way home I was thinking , is this guy toying with me or is he for real. My 13 year old thanked me for being somewhat nice for educating him, but deep in side I think I was played. I'm never going to know, sorry for the rant.

I would say call the ministry but there isn't enough of them. Write down the licence plate take a pix and send it off not much else you can do.

Simply give them a warning. I always find people fish close section when there's heavy pressure (pre-openers mostly)...I don't like confrontations but would like to come out as someone who is concern that they're fishing a close section. Saw 2 guys on their way to fishing a close section...told them 2 guys were ticketed already and that the CO is still somewhere in there ticketing people fishing close section...and guess what...3/5 I was telling the truth...if they're willing to take their chance...it's on them.
