If you want to pay for a system such as that out of your own pocket, I am sure the state would be more than happy to do that. The cost for a new system would raise the cost of licences and registrations, and people such as yourself would continue to blame the state. The current book is simple, every lake is different and should be treated so; if you can not understand the law book, give the MDIFW a call, they will be more than happy to help you.

Where do you think the money from your license goes, and how would a new system reduce the cost of licenses?
