Maybe for Twin Lakes it makes sense to have someone there. Problem is that most reservoirs are small and you can't have someone there all the time.
Maybe they should let the fish and game people go around and check to make sure you have been inspected and ticket you if you haven't. This might take a change in the law because I don't think you are required to have been inspected before you launch right now.
Obviously this will also require you to have a visible document in your vehicle similar to what Utah or Wyoming do. Maybe the passport can be left open with the date stamp on it.
Someone dropped the ball here because they should've been working on these rules last year and not waited until now to say they are not opening the ponds.
Right now I think they should just allow people in like normal until they get tighter rules in place. I can understand why they want to protect the lakes but shutting down shouldn't be an option. Most of this ponds don't get lots of traffic from people who have been to infected places. I do understand that it only takes one though.
Who would be in charge of this rules? Idaho fish and game I assume?
