Kilo, I think there are more then just One guy who has witnessed this on the Quil.
I am sure they can go into detail.
Here is what we witnessed.

We we were there, we saw one get cuffed and taken away, (9/14/2002 around 3:00 pm) and 2 tickets being written.
I don't think you are the only one who gets out, or know people, some of the guys on this board hit 2-4 different rivers a week, fishing and scouting.

AS far as scare tactics go I doubt it.

I'm glad, I hope they raise the fine to $1000.00 and loss of Lic. for 5 years.
