As to the last question, there has to be a line somewhere where you're outside their reach. My gut feeling is that if they expect you to cross the river because they're too lazy to do it themselves, then that's over the line.

If they want you to pull anchor and row to shore, I guess the particular circumstances would define if it is reasonable or not. Either way, I find it to be a pretty crappy thing to do. On the other hand, I also feel that enforcement presence is good for the resource and therefore good for us. I'd rather lose my spot once or twice a year than never see a game warden.

Fish on...
