The upper end is a free for all.

No enforcement of any kind.

Come here and do anything you want.

The plans set in place - they are unravelling.

Isn't it that way everywhere on the water? I don't spend as much time on the creeks as I used to, but on average over the past 30-40 years I've seen an agent about once every 2-3 years. But then some of those sighting were two or three times in the same week making the until the next sighting even longer. We are mostly on the "honor system" and of course poachers don't honor that.

Those who see the constant daily misuse of this river say nothing.

Does MDC have a Game Thief hotline like some of the other states?

If so, you should call them,

below a tree well above chute 1 - above the cable every day

at night there is no accountability

I pick up the trash - every day.

Trout parks are like that.

special Trout Management Areas shouldn't be

So is it just trash? That is easy to pick up. I do it all the time.

Please come and experience it for yourself.

I think a big issue is it's the easiest and most accessible area to fish in the area for people visiting. They don't read the rules, or feel the need to, they just want to fish while on vacation. Don't get me wrong some of the locals are just as bad, but the majority of the infractions and lack of respect I've seen are from people who have no clue. Most of the folks take very kindly to correction. I usually say "do what you want, but *insert rule or suggestion*." Of course there are always the people who don't care. 

The trash is a product of society. Disrespect for the resource is way easier than respect. Lisa Beumer said there was an agent down there last night in plain clothes wading. I was checked a couple Sundays ago on the water by Chris. I hope it becomes a regularity.
