Kennebago River problem(killing fish)

Because there is so little water in the river the fish are stuck in some of the pools. You can see them as you wade the river and some not so good "sportsmen" are "snagging" these fish and there have been quite a few dead fish floating down the river with holes in their sides.I would hope if any respectable sportsman sees this happen they report it to a warden. Also, there have been a few fishermen killing and keeping large trout which is totally illegal as this river and most other rivers in our area are "catch and release" after August 16.
Please be a "good sportsman and abide by the laws.
