Ive been checked 3 times in the last two months lake fishing. 2 of the times i was the only one out there. Ive been checked 3 or 4 times on the Sky (Wallace flats, Sultan Launch, Lewis Launch, and once at a remote stretch) Yes, they do go through coolers, bags, and of course check liscences, gear and fish. Ive also been spotted though a scope on the Sauk, and N.F Stilly.

They are definetly out there for those who think otherwise. Most wardens know were all the hiddy holes are and canyon climbs, so its best to comply by the rules at all times, not only for your sake but for the fishes too.
