The way I understand it, the Lake Manager at each lake has the latitude to set certain rules that apply to his lake. No two lakes are alike therefore the LM must do what he thinks is the right way to manage that particular lake. The young lake who spoke to me and gave me the warning was very polite and professional. We will comply with each of the Lake Managers rules at his individual lake. I met Mike last year too and he is a very laid back guy but I'm sure he will enforce the law. I make the mistake of not getting the permit but I won't make the same mistake twice.
