Guys, there's two problems, as I see it. One is the folks who tie limb lines and leave them or tie out yo-yos and leave them are inconsiderate of others and our resources, and the law, and nothing is going to change that. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!! The second is an enforcement problem, and that can be changed, and I think it would affect the behavior of those folks. I know the AG&FC folks are spread pretty thin, but you can hire a lot of enforcement people with what just one visitor center costs. I truly believe if enforcement would cover Lake Conway every few days cutting down abandoned or unattended limb lines, trot lines and yo-yos, it wouldn't take long for the in-considerates to figure out they couldn't get away with it. Believe me, there are tons of folks who are on the lake daily, or frequently, who would call in violations such as the ones described in this thread if they thought AG&FC Enforcement would respond and do something about it. I have seen yo-yos hung in certain areas during the winter and left hanging until hot weather, with absolutely nothing done about it. Kinda hard to make yourself go to the trouble to report violations if it just falls on deaf ears! Again, I understand the manpower issues, but the answer to that is not to build another visitor center with a local dignitary's name on it.......hire some more folks and add them to the enforcement branch and stop all this blatant ignoring and violating the laws and regulations!!! Just my.
