Asshole Alert on the Taylor

[Meng]

F'ing Harmels..... I really dislike that place. I worked there one summer after my first year in College and it was the worst job I've ever had. Never had so many (or any) clashes with owners, bosses, staff etc as there. The place is totally wacked (or was when I was there @ 7 years ago).

I say we stage a peacefull, legal MASS-FLOAT right past theri bitch asses. We get a special use permit from the USFS to assemble and launch at South Bank, publicize the event and go in. Sherrif's etc will be on hand to arrest any motherfucker fisherman or landowners who so much as think about physically harming a river paddler. This way they get arrested and we just get to paddle.

Nothing against fisherman, landowners, snowmobilers, rednecks or BC Tele-ers but anyone who would intentionally hurt a family on a raft trip dreserves the beat down of a lifetime.

Anyone in????

PS-
The mass float would essentially be a legal/peacefull direct responce to this bullshit incident.

if the sherriffs are going to be there, we need to really impress everyone and not touch the private property through there, and then we'd be real badass. a hundred boats, floating through priv prop, and not a single one touching? uhhhh theyd hate that! sweet idea meng! lets do it!

i love the idea. im not sure i could float that 100 times without touching a rock though. last time i went down that sec. i didnt know the lines and wound up pinned in one of their fish enclosures

fishermen have the right of way. Guides fault.

Yet another fisher who thinks they own the water -

[hotchkiss]

I don't fish. I think it's boring and they don't taste particularly good but what do you expect. Do you want them to, move for you?!?! LOL, get real. I'm sure the guide was just drifting down the river, being lazy, and floated right into some poor fisherman's hole. That lady got what the guide deserved.

Old school rules say FISHERMEN ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!
read some William Nealy sometime kid.

Hotchkiss -

I am a fisherman. You are right, fishermen do have the right of way, BUT, a boat entering your fishing hole does not give you the right to physically harm the occupant. If your driving down the road and someone enters your right of way do you have the right to beat them down? No. You would then be breaking the law. Saying she got what the guide deserved is idiotic.

I have been fishing MANY times and had boats interfere. It pisses me off, and I have been known to say a few choice words to the individual, but in the end we are all allowed to use our rivers and lakes without fear of physical harm.

I am still trying to figure out the mindset of someone who thinks it is ok to harm someone when they interfere with someone else. Maybe you can explain it to me.
