Went on a bike ride along the carbon river today. All sorts of people fishing the river. THE RIVER IS CLOSED for salmon until Sep. 1st. Really sad... People can fish for trout and other game fish this time of year, but they're obviously not. Saw a few Kings landed and completely removed from the water. Things like this are the reason fishing opens later and later each year. I wish those people had some respect for the fish. I'm open to comments... maybe I'm wrong.

I was wondering finleymac, how close you came to the people fishing? How long did you watch them? I have caught a salmon myself that I released and it was out of the water. I did this because I could not get in the water to release it with out peril of falling in the river. I too have thought of going down there to fish for trout but as yet I haven't. The restrictions are fairly rigorous and I like to eat crappie and perch more than trout except for smoked trout.

I've lived on the Carbon since '95 and I see this every year!!! I guess if their is nobody around to enforce the regs, it will continue to go on. Maybe ,just maybe a Fish and Game person will do the right thing and show up with his or her pencil and paper,and the word will get out!!!
