Cowlitz you are mistaken there. There are very specialized criteria that need to be met before anyone is requred to have anything from the coast guard..

1 the vessle you operate must have a motor
2. you have to carry passangers fore hire
3. operate in US navagable waters

all three must be true in order to be required to get anything from the coast guard..

to all.. I am really tired of everyones angry vindictive and even hateful attitudes of people who are trying ( proven by their actions) to destroy THE best fish conservation organization in the state. You have literially declared war on Washington trout and therefore war against wild salmon and steelhead in our state..
very sad...
