I think most of the people that are actually fishing with rod and reel don't catch much if any of the fish. At least not in my neck of the woods. I don't think poachers are a problem in my area. If they were I sure would like to get em' busted. I'd get a pellet gun and shoot em' in the ass from the darkness. That would be a good way to take care of those sorry so and so's. If I knew of any of that going on, I would go out of my way to catch them. Trout fishing is more of a way to get a fishing fix or to pass time more than anything. But it sure would be nice to be able to catch those sorry little things when you got the urge. I mostly fish for them so my oldest boy can catch some fish.
