I just checked Richard's post about bait fishers Oct 12. That's the same truck he took a pic of!  DFG needs to be informed and at least give him notice!!!

If you want to stop these guys, call Cal-Tip. You could receive up to $1000 in reward. Cell access for most is available in the Access 5 parking lot. DFW will respond if a warden is available-in September 2 drove all the way from the delta when Richard called.

I saw 2 guys with ice chests and polls from the bridge as I drove past , I turned around, parked and walked down and asked how the fishing was going , They said they had landed a few but it was still a little slow. when I informed them about the regs they looked at me like I was crazy and asked when the regs had been changed , when I told them 5 or 6 years ago one said we didnt know that and the other one started getting kinda quite and his body languag started getting kinda shifty . and yes they where using worms and eggs  so I made my exit and took these pics as I was walking back to my car

Since new signs are going up I hope that the regs are in LARGE BOLD letters. Seems people can't "see" or "read" regs.

Pull the valve stems out with a pair of pliers. Works every time believe me. It takes 2 seconds. Make sure you pull two at least. Plenty of time for dfg to show up. If you are really pissed and itchin to protect and serve the passion of catch and release, spend some time throwing rocks in the river where they are fishing. Make sure to inform them, you (as well as others) have photos and video of their vehicle and that "your friend just drove down river to call the NSA" on them regarding their acts of terrorism. I promise I will do this if I see them.
My brother hates it when I confront mother ****ers with no river etiquette and that goes for noob fly fishermen too.

Don't talk (type) and complain... do something about it.

My dad taught us how to fly fishing in the mid 70s. So this is not my first time dealing with idiots on the river.


Any complaints, suggestions, hate mail please send for review.
