[quote anothersnag]Well Beautiful-fish... with all due respect... If you don't want to pay the $30.00 for the AIS to fish in Wyoming then stay on your own side of the lake ....Stop your whinning and stay in Utah.[/quote]
Want to know what I think is a rip off? Some yahoo coming into my state and damaging my favorite lake (by aquatic invasive species) and the end result being either a) millions of dollars spent fighting the problem b) a damaged resource or both.
When the whole scenario could have been prevented if instead he just forked up 30.00$ and 10 minutes at the boat ramp getting inspected. I guess we have differing opinions on what a "rip off" is. .
There are good reasons to charge out of state boaters more than in-state boaters. Out of state boaters have the highest chance of bringing aquatic invasive species to our waters. We don't have any yet, and we'd like to keep it that way. I know my buddies and I don't have any chance in spreading critters because we don't fish out of state and guess what, our boats get inspected!!! I pay a smaller fee but I have zero chance of spreading mussels... You don't hear me whining.
