From a reliable, unnamed source and I quote:
"I contacted Transport Canada regarding the safety concerns around ANYONE intentionally placing a moving obstruction upstream of anchored boats with the intent to impact on those boats. Notwithstanding the safety issue, I was ultimately referred to DFO in Chilliwack. The DFO officer and I discussed the business of drift nets intentionally set above anchored boats and drift nets intentionally set in the way of anglers on the bars. He informed me that any of this kind of action is a POLICE ISSUE and Agassiz police should be contacted. Apparently, the Agassiz RCMP have a boat in the water and are recording and responding (hopefully) to all reported incidents of this nature. So ... if you have a problem (or, for that matter, if you had a problem), please contact the Agassiz RCMP at 604 796 2211 and file a report. The Agassiz office is not manned on a 24-7 basis,so if it is "off-hours", contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 792 4611 and they will dispatch. If everyone reports all occurrences of these kinds of action, we may see some solution."
If we act accordingly maybe we can stop interference fishing activity on the Fraser River.
