One I will save for the next public input fish and game meeting. and when I say "GREEDY" someone is making money on the parking permits.. and until Hayden Kokanee showed up, the pay to launch machine was unused in the late winter early spring till July. I an not seeing the out of state guys this year either, equals lost local business. sad sad sad
To be clear the launch and parking fees go to the city of Hayden not the game dept. IMO the F&G likes all of the additional licenses sold. If this was really a trophy fishery they would sell a lot of license to avid Kok fishermen from out of state. Look at the interest Roosevelt gets in the winter because of the quality of the fish there.
