Thread: 2015 AGFC Proposed Fishing Regulations

Now that's the truth especially the last statement. Their having a ban the trollers party on the sippi board and I just don't understand why can't everyone let people do it the way they want? Just think if they take away these other methods (which have been legal for umpteen yrs.)how much fun it would be jockeying around the other single poling folks that may very well be on you're treeline or you're favorite brushpile. When if you would've left it alone they would still be out in the middle leaving you prime fishin around the banks!

Do you unerstan da words comin outta my mouf?

ban them dadgum thangs seen several while i was out today with dead fish hanging from em, crappie and catfish,this kind of stuff really peeeees me off, when will it end?

Finished

Done

Guy's enforcement is a dream...we all know this when it comes to the yoyo issue. But when it is written in the AGFC Reg's that YoYo's or Limbline's are illegal to use period on Lake Conway... then we will see results. Folks are allot less likely to use them if they know they are not allowed period to use or possess them. This will allow the Game Wardens to more easily enforce the Maylay we have going on out there right now. Post signs at the ramps also.

There was a recent pic posted of a beautiful two pound crappie left to rot on a YoYo recently and left for the turtles. This happens all the time on Conway. No matter what you think about the enforcement issue...it's not too naïve to think this should be more than enough evidence for you to Ban YoYo's.

They just banned limb lines at lake washington! !!!! Hope yo yos are next! !!!!!

J.W., I could live with it like it is if they would enforce the regs on use of yo-yos, but they can't, or won't. I don't have a bit of problem with yo-yos when used according to the regulations, but they aren't by many people, and they are ruining it for those who are law abiding and use them properly. A few years of seeing fish hanging for 2 or 3 days, dried out or eaten by turtles will turn you against using them. I have said many times on this forum that the problem is not with the law, or the regs. In my opinion it is an enforcement problem. And I understand all the problems with that too, money, personnel, etc. But I've also said I would rather see one less visitor center in the state and use that money to beef up the enforcement ranks, and start vigorously enforcing violations and hurt the violators in their pocketbook for awhile and I think it would stop most of the violations we see almost daily on Lake Conway. Again, I have no problem with the proper and lawful use of them, it's the improper use of them in violation of the law that bothers me. And if they can't or won't enforce the regulation, then just outlaw them altogether. Just my .
