So had I kept a fish....I'd be a poacher?....

misread !!
"I never assume by someone showing pictures that they are keeping everything"
meaning that if someone shows pictures of 20 fish they caught in one day, that I don't assume they took them all home.
"I think most poachers know they aren't welcome on this forum."
meaning why would someone come onto this board to show off their catch if they were a poacher, they would know better (I hope).
my definition of a poacher is someone who breaks a law in the fishing regulations period. totally by the regs. It's not up to me to decide who is and who is not a poacher.
hope this clarifies, I got a vibe on this forum that there are those who think because I'm a fly fisher that I'm a snotty elitest. if that was the case I'd only be matching the hatch and throwing dry flies to rising trout from may to september, and definitely would not be on this forum.

I personally was surprised to read some of the posting. They sounded so mean-spirited, almost a taunt. 
.....Was I touchy?...a bit....when things are being said by people who haven't a clue what they are talking about it gets my back up....to anyone that was actually at Merlands this past weekend.....they know the truth.....
