what i would really like to see happen is regulation enforcement. the biggest problem with fishing that ive experienced is simply not enforcing the rules they make. i have been checked once in 5 years of fishing. do you guys know how much i fish? different bodies of water etc. that to me is unbelievable that a guy like me can spend that much time on the water and never have my licensed checked. thats scary to me. i feel if we have all these dollars millions at a time. why cant that be allocated for patrolman to check things sometimes. that would stop the over the limit problems on popular waters, and people poaching and fishing with out licenses, fishing outside of regs etc. this to me makes alot more sense to managing fish. if the regulations are made to manage the fish then the best management now is to enforce the regs right? i think so.

i feel its good for these urban fisheries to come up etc. what bothers me is i buy my license everyyear and so do alot of other people that will never use those types of fisheries. i have fished one this year maybe five times so thats that. i wish they would manage them like arizona its alot like a pay to fish. you buy a trout stamp there therefore the trout they stock is the equivalent to the amount of money they made from the trout stamps. instead of making a fishery funded by all the sportsman but is only utilized by a select small group. and to attract some new group of fisherman which of course makes more revenues for the state. i would like to see my dollars spent in a way that is better for the fish out in the environment and manage the regulations. my three cents for the day
