I went out to the walking bridge on the "William B Pond" side yesterday. Beautiful Monday to get off work early and fish. The main run was full of fishermen both Fly and Gear. As I stepped into the slot a guy hooked into a nice silver and landed it. He took it to shore and cut it open to find the eggs and bagged them. I have no problem with someone keeping fish from time to time but something told me this guy had no idea what consevation was. Maybe it was his screaming at the top of his lungs "Female I killed a Female". At that time some of the others on that side shook their heads and continued to fish only to see that same guy rip into another fish. It was a turning salmon about 25 lbs as far as I could tell. He takes it to shore and beginns stomping on it shooting the eggs out and screaming the same war cry "Female I killed a Female". If that wasn't enough, he left the eggs on the shore and came back to fish. I had enough and started in on this derelict. I really tried to cross that river and give him more than just words.
If all of us are trying to make this world a better place, this world needs to get rid of people like that. Sorry for the rant just needed to blow some steam.
