8>>>A.My own opinion is that we leave it alone. >>>>B. Or let the fishing license buyers decide by vote and not by clout or money. Every Montana resident with a valid fishing license should be able to cast a ballot for or against any infringements of rights to use a stream, river or tributary as they chose. For or against and no changes to usage, type of motor etc. Stays as is to vote as for. Against, -Change to lower the HP of boat and the limits as written on the proposed changes. This, in my opinion, is what is fair and conventionally a republic and democratic way of approaching the issue.
Oh yeah, don't get me started on paddle boards.
The FWP says wellllll they (paddle boards) are fairly new and not everyone is aware of the laws??
100% agree. Divided we will fall. We need to support each other even if we don't trap, fish certain waters, run hounds, etc., etc., etc. As soon as one pin falls others will follow. The precedent has been set in more liberal states like Washington and California. There is no stopping point. Don't give an inch or before you know it you'll have ceded the entire field. Stand united.I consider myself a level headed and moderate guy, but on this stuff I really believe we just need to say: "NO". No more. No more restricting someone else's access for my benefit. No more not caring because it doesn't immediately affect my preferred recreation. Just "NO".
