You comment reflects what I found up this way. From 0 checks for near 60 years of angling to 4 times in one summer.
You might think someone finally gives a crap about our resources.

Hodgmans has an awesome boot with interchangeable soles their system is 100 times better than korkers. I have 2 seasons on mine I fish a lot and the boots are still like new. The hodgman boot i had 3 years ago was garbage so they sent me their new H-lock Vion design and i like them better than my old simms guide boot. Hodgmans is finally getting it right in the fly fishing gear department.
That's fine. People don't need one. But the signs at a haul road entrance indicate that you do. And if anything happens and you don't have one, you are liable. I'm not saying its a necessity but I work on call roads a lot, like almost everyday. And I've seen, a dozen times, what can happen. It's not pretty.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read the post, if any of you are in the Lundbreck Falls stretch of the Crow watch out the for this individual and his bacon-slinging buddies- other anglers are reporting seeing this same group using bacon (or some other fatty meat) as bait the night before in the same area.
Also, despite the ease of reporting and getting an officer dispatched it's often very difficult for F&W officers to get charges to stick. "beyond a reasonable doubt" is a high burden of proof) so record everything you can, reliable evidence (rather than fists lol) is the best weapon against these guys!!
