Well Dan S, thanks for so politely clearing that up... All I really wanted was a second opinion and well I guess I got one. I also see from other posts (Andy Mathews' thread and others here) and it looks like you guys have quite a problem. I'll have take your guys word for it as I don't think I'll drive 5 hours to "see for myself". I've never been around so many people just trying to snag fish so forgive my naievety.
Sounds like you better go get a cell phone and bring it to the river. The only real way to get rid of these clowns is to make this cost them some money and maybe they will think twice the next time. Unfortunately, it sounds like the enforcement is stretched pretty thin so you just have to keep trying if they don't make it there on your first call, don't give up!
