Most anglers are respectful of theregulations, but not everyone plays by the rules. This is where fisheryofficers and fishery guardians, tasked with the responsibility for ensuringcompliance and enforcement of recreational fisheries, get involved.In 2012, approximately 70,000 hours were spent on salmon and troutenforcement. Additional compliance and enforcement efforts wereprovided by provincial and Aboriginal inland fisheries enforcementprograms.During the 2012 angling season, a total of 186 salmon and trout violationswere detected as a result of DFO’s enforcement efforts. These includecharges laid, warnings, seizures from persons unknown (e.g. abandonednets), and cases that are still under investigation. A total of 55 salmon nets,122 salmon, 8 boats, 1 vehicle were seized.DFO works closely with Crime Stoppers to encourage the public to reportpoaching and other illegal activity on the rivers. Callers are anonymousand tipsters can earn a cash reward if the tip leads to a conviction.In 2012, Crime Stoppers Newfoundland and Labrador received 88 tipsfrom the public about illegal fishing activity, of which 53 were directlyrelated to salmon and trout. These tips are an invaluable source ofinformation for fishery officers and guardians, and sometimes lead tocharges being laid and convictions being handed down by the courts.Crime Stoppers can be reached anonymously by calling:1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by texting TIP190 + Message to 274637(CRIMES), or by submitting a tip online at www.nlcrimestoppers.comAngler’s Guide 2013-2014 25
