Thread: The line has been drawn in the sand...

I am sick and tired of seeing unattended, unlabeled, illegal Yo-Yos, limb lines, and trot lines on my home lake, Conway. Even worse, when they have dead fish hanging from them. They are everywhere! If you like to use these types of fishing gear, it would be in your best interest to read and understand the regulations and use them properly. I have been given permission by the Enforcement Captain, to remove any illegal device that I find. If I have to drive around the lake once a week until they are gone, I will.

For all of those who label these devices correctly, fish them correctly, and remove them when they are not being actively fished, Thank You! If the others don't start using these devices lawfully, it will eventually ruin it for everyone. So please help encourage the others to do the right thing and follow the regulations.

If anyone observes these devices being used illegally, not labeled, not actively fished, or abandoned, let me know. If it is a violation that a ticket can be written, I will see that the information is passed on to the local enforcement officers. If not, I will personally remove them. It is really sad that this trash is left out in the lake so long that the hooks are rusting up. Thank you for helping me clean up Lake Conway!
