Amen! Why is it so hard to follow the rules? Eagle Creek has been a 10 hp lake for how many years? 30+ or more. I have never fired up my big motor on it and I have fished it many, many time! You fisherman that broke the law need to ask yourself, "Am I the one that finally caused the legal users to say, we've had enough! Follow the rules or pay a fine. If you want to run your big motors, go to the big lakes, plain and simple!!!
