Nope Mille lacs

Every MN lake I've been to has had DNR at the access when I've come off.

The sticker thing has been changed, and until the DNR gets their end done, there won't be any stickers required.

They are there, plugs have to be out, all water has to be out of the boat, and clean it.

Seems if you put in and out at a resort ramp at Lake Mille Lacs, there are zero inspections. So most boats see zero DNR at Lake Mille Lacs.

Steve - was the traffic backed up on opener from inspection stations in your area?

Have not seen any slow down in traffic from inspection stations here.

I haven't seen any inspection stations outside of a couple public accesses having young inspectors on site some of the time. I use resort ramps and haven't seen how the traffic is at public accesses. I also haven't seen any traffic stops, pulling over any boat on the road. With the 10 pm. curfew on the lake, boats loading at all ramps are jammed up for a while in the dark. If they inspected boats leaving the lake at that it would be comical at best.

Isn't everyone getting uptight over something that is not being enforced with fines/tickets for a year or so.
I think it was 2014 but now I believe the date is 2015.
I ask the question just to see if there were any stops/inspections....

I am thinking the next year or so is trying to make people aware of this problem.
Not all people who use the water FISH..
Then I think there will be a step up in enforcement.
IN MY OPINION....
