$694 fine for 6 fish??

Should have been in the $10 000 range. Make it hurt, otherwise it's pointless.

This was a guy who poached "steelhead" in Ohio. The runs there are huge compared to here. There is no comparison between the 2 fisheries. It has more comparable to someone bagging 6 over their limit of rainbows in Tunkwa or pinks in the Harrison. Not going to be a big uproar there. I agree it should be a bigger fine. The thing that bothers me more, is that there used to be a sense of shame and embarrassment when one got nailed breaking the law. Now the only thing that seems to matter is the size of the punishment. Conscience and the ensuing sense fo ethical behaviour is a thing most people have lost. Ethical behaviour is not something that is legislated, it is something that is learned and is transfered from one situation to another. Ethical behaviour is an extention of one's commitment to a civil society, where you behave in a manner that lessens your impact on all those around you and have the right to expect the same behaviour in return. It grows from the understanding that we are members of the same society and co-dependant for our well-being and continued standard of living.
