Last year, about this time, we had a similar discussion. I think I even started the discussion. That rule is so lame.

My point being:

1. Lake Lenore has a Grant Co. Parks sign right at the launch telling you how to operate a PWC safely. That to me implies I can get out there on my PWC and "tear up" some water (if I so choose). But, if you are fishing, you have to abide by a different set of rules. Lake Lenore is a huge lake. Why are gas motors not allowed? I certainly would not want to get caught on Lenore in a row boat when the wind kicks up.

2. Several King Co. lakes, let's use Steel Lake for example, have signs at the launches stating No Gas Motors Allowed. If you look up the lake (Steel) in the fishing REGS there is no mention of Selective Gear Rules or No Internal Combustion Motors Allowed.

My problem is that state rules and county/city rules do not match. It is like reading out of two different books.

I have gotten so fed up I just stick to lakes where I know I can run my gas motor.
