Taken from a post on the missouri board. Talkin' about the new rules proposed for our yankees up in northern AR. Might be of interest to somebody.

"You are correct, at present time it is a "proposed" policy change for the Little Rock District only. The lakes in MO that it would effect is Table Rock, Bullshoals, and Clearwater. The rest of the COE lakes are either Kansas City District (Pomme, Stockton, Truman, Smithville, Longbranch etc.) or St. Louis District. (Mark Twain, Wappapello, and some others over on the east side). The policy would have limited enforcement, i.e. basically the only ones capable of enforcement would essentially be the COE Rangers. The Missouri State Water Patrol and MDC would not be able to enforce unless it becomes a state law, which is almost no chance of happening at present time. I am going to take a guess at this point and say that it will go into effect at the Little Rock Dist. Lakes as a pilot program with a 3 year sunset for review and decision whether or not to make permanent. Personally speaking for myself and several others involved in it in the KC District we are not in favor of it, there are lots of problems inherent once you get to looking into the details of the plan. The marinas in KC Dist are currently allowed to post the no fishing zone around the marina docks but again the enforcement is restricted to "just how big an ol boy you are".
