This is a long simmering difference of opinion that goes back a couple of years. I was asked to not use my belly boat on a local quarry surrounded by a county park. 2 things I would like to point out. 1.spending 4 years going to college to get a conservation degree and then being reduced to take park fees at a county park has to be frustrating. 2.I like challenging bureacrats to think past the black and white of the written regulation.
I was asked to not use my belly boat in this quarry which is a nice smallmouth ,panfish, and hatchery trout fishery. Their logic is that it is considered an inflatable like a rubber raft restricted in use to the beach area. While people use canoes, row boats, and a local dive school tows around marker bouys in the other areas of the quarry.How do I illustrate that this is a watercraft to their satisfaction?Thank you
