One last question....

One last question before this site is a ghost town for the next 8 months...
Who all saw a CO on the ice this year? I've never been checked through the winter. During open water I always get checked, one time 2xs by the same CO on the same lake in the same day!

I get checked at least once per season (hard and soft water). I see more CO’s in the winter in my area.
Last year during the summer, I got checked by the same CO in the same spot three days in a row. Didn’t see him check anyone else those three days either and it was a busy weekend. I always fish legally though so I never have anything to worry about. Also, on the lake in my town, if you fish after bedtime, you’ll get the cops called on you. Had 4 cops “inspect the area” one night around 230am. Apparently using a headlamp to see at night scares the hell out of people in their houses 100 yards away (that was also in the summer). I never have issues in the winter though.

Didn't get checked this year, which is unusual. Usually get it once on the ice at least! Hex

this place is active all year long, but your local board probably won't be.
never been checked on hard or soft water, only trying a new fly rod on shore at a kal river boat launch. guess they don't get paid enough to get out of their suv. they yelled out the window "tell me what color the license is this year and we'll drive off". i told them i don't try to memorize the color and had to walk up to their window to show it to them. it was the sheriff water division.
must be some thing about small lakes and private ones they don't want to spend time doing their job.
i had two co's look in our flip vent windows at night. snuck up on us in the dark late and asked how the fishing was on the free fishing weekend.

Was checked once this year, the only time I was on Salimonie. Guess they figured they had to with over 20 trucks sitting on the bridge.

I could remember I was checked 4 days on a row by the same co at Bass lake 1 year. You would think that after the second time they would remember I was legal...

Only seen a c.o. one time this year, and he was parked at the access point for about a half hour.
Now i did see them a few times while i was driving to and from lakes.

WOW... I must be the lucky one. I've never been checked on the ice. That's why I asked. I thought it to be odd I never see them out in the winter.
