My I make a suggestion?
The next time you see some one taking under size fish or to many, look around for some one with a cell phone and ask them if you can use it to call the ranger station. I know if some one ask me to use my phone for this purpose I would be happy to assist them if not make the call myself.
Lets face it, the ranger staff is grossly under staffed. If we want the right to complain about this, WE ALSO HAVE TO BE WILLING TO TAKE ACTION WHEN WE SEE IT HAPPENING.
When you call be sure to stress that you need a fast response before they have a chance to leave with the fish.
I bet a dime to a dollar that not only will you have them busted for poaching but they probably don't have a fishing licence also.
Rememeber, you can't complain if you just stand by and let it happen.
Good luck and good fishing.
