OK so racism is perhaps a little strong. I'll call it more hunt wa cultural bashing and the Russians are up this time around. Natives on deck.
At Lake Padden near Bellingham, I would watch the Russians catch trout after trout and put them on a stringer in the bushes. Periodically, an old Russian woman would walk up to the bush and empty the stringer into a bucket and depart/return/depart. A WDFW Agent basically gave me a shoulder shrug and told me his frustration in getting the all too liberal local legal bench to take these violations seriously.

[/quoteI saw the same situation at Alta Lake a couple of years ago. There were six guys sitting on the bank all day long for several days while we were there. Catching fish after fish and putting them on a stringer. Every hours or so a woman from their camp would walk down and collect the fish in Wal-Mart bags and take them back up to one of the trailers parked behind our spot. The women folk would then process them outside the trailer. Crazy. Hundreds of fish. Couldn't get the LEO park ranger to do anything about it. Does the fact that they were speaking a slavic language make me racist? I could say they were english speaking New Yorkers, but that would be a lie. This group maybe a traveling troupe of poachers as after moving to E.WA, I recognized several of the same individuals doing an all night fish-in at the Badger Lake Public Access South of Cheney a few years ago.
