I was stopped a couple of weeks ago. I was well N. of West Sister. I was the only one in the boat and was trolling with two lines out. I had 3 other poles in the rod holders in the middle of the boat and was working on tying new gear on a 4th. Which make 6 total. lol

I saw a small boat coming directly at my stern with one guy looking at me through Binoculars. As they got closer I saw the side of the boat with the DNR placard. They pulled up and said they were just checking licenses. So I showed them my license, then they asked about all the poles. I stated that just started and fishing and was trying to find a program to use. The officer said they saw me set up and had watched me for a while. lol

They wished me luck and I thanked them for being on the water and told them to be careful.

Luckily for me I guess is I know the law and try to abide by it or I would have had the pony up and take my punishment as well.
