They know about the place and are coming by the droves guide or no guide. As far as out of state money goes I bring in quiet a bit myself, and it is all reported and accounted for. BTW, the lakes we are talking about are federal COE lakes and not state lakes, so everybody who pays taxes has a dog in this hunt.
Now Feesh, no one would even try to say that Feelay was responsible for all those out of state boat trailers. If a fella drags his boat down here, why would he need a guide? I know some folks bring their boats and hire a guide the first day. He is responsible for bringing a whole lot of revenue in that wouldn't otherwise be here. Folks, many of them repeat clients, that come here and will only fish with him. Says a lot for him. Since you didn't mention any of the other guides, it appears that Carl is the one you have a problem with. Why? He obeys the laws. Are you inferring that Feelay and the other guides don't report and account for their income?
