Spotted this truck and the two occupants fishing bait and huge irons for fish that are ready to spawn. Here's their game! Take Go Pro on a telescopic pole and extend it out into the pools that the fish are known to spawn in, spot the big fish and then cast to them. One dick head with bait and the other with his heavy irons. The dickhead with the irons was trying to snag the fish and the dick with bait...well he may be the lesser of two evils... just casting and waiting to feel a tug. Both are douchebags and need to be stopped!!! Here is the truck and plate # It's a 4 door Ford and I think its a 150 model.

Another miscreant driving a white truck... What is up with that?! Did you call 1 888 DFG-CALTIP? Did you get a picture of them? I would have considered knifing their sidewalls and calling DFG with the hope they would get there in time. Bastards!!!

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!!!

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

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.
Sorry, I don't agree with vandalism of any sort as a solution. If you want followup, call Cal tip with the info as soon as you can. The number is below. The info goes into a database that the wardens access. WE are looking at the long game here-the more reports are made the more attention the problem will get from enforcement.
