No we haven't shot any gaps, usually we go in and find a spot just north of the Fish and Game. Problem is it's getting so populated with people who don't respect the fishery so I didn't go at all last year, pisses me off when I see people doing things totally against the rules.
Last time we went up I almost got into a fist fight with a young man who was in there with a trout rod spooled with 25lb test line, he had 3 treble hooks attached and was just raking the river. Not only were all of his catches illegally hooked, but him and his friends walked off the river with more than their legal retention quota.
1 fishing rod, 3 people and 6 fish walked outa the bush. I can only hope that there was a conservation officer in the area when they left, I know there was when we left a couple hours later because we were checked.
What set me off was being asked by one of the young guys if they could keep a fish that I was putting back into the river (illegally hooked)
I think it may be time to go back now.....at least to explore some off-roading trails.
Sounds good, I usually don't get out through the week unless it's a night time dig (after work).
Otherwise I'm just a weekend warrior.
If you're up to going out in the dark (nothing too crazy) I'll give you a buzz next time we go out through the week.
I'm still not ready to go driving yet after shoulder surgery, but should be ready in the next 2 weeks or so. (I'm ready to drive just not able to do repairs if required)
I'm in the same boat as Fatty as my 6 year old will be looking to spend the day with dear ol dad.
