yeah, but if you drain the water or whatever, you cant ever use it again because it was already taken on the ice.  i know i cant go off on the wardens, but they arent too kind.  $80 down the drain hurts, dont it? >:(  its killing everybody.  and did you read the first thing on this thread?  jeezum crow thats rediculous.  im 15 years old and wasting money doesnt feel too good.  neither will a $300+ fine.  its just crazy.

It's called VHS (Viral Hemmor... Septicemia) , a very nasty fish disease that causes huge fish die-offs, several thousand at a time.  It's in the Great Lakes and St Lawrence Seaway.  It's carried by baitfish, so controlling the usage of baitfish is seen as one step to reduce the spread of VHS.

Without the regulation, we may not have any fish in Lake Champlian, or any other lake.
