It's the fisherman who don't give a s**t, who are ruining it for all of us. The same guys who fish with two rods in the water and the same guys who throw their bags, cartons, and cans in the water, and the same guys who keep over the limit amount of fish, and the same guys who don't fish with a license and it's those same guys who don't care to admit and change what they are doing. I've made many of the mistakes listed above and more but I've learned to correct myself and stop before it becomes a habit and that's something we should all aim for.

Seems like those guys outnumber the good guys too, or maybe it's just the over the top "tree huggers" that blame many problems with water habitats on the fisherman. Some times I may be a tree hugger too but to blame it strictly on fisherman is a bit absurd.

Just sad.........

Sorry for the rant.... Just had to get it off my chest.

I'm fairly certain provincial laws exists. But this looks like a lack of enforcement problem. Some of the recommendations in the reports are ridiculous. Like having to ware your license around your neck. As if anyone can read from afar if it's a fake or not. Ludicrous. Just patrol and enforce.
