Maybe I don't "get it"

Gentlemen,
      I finally got permission from my doctor to go out and do some fishing.  So, I went over to a small managed stream in my area.  The creek is Artifical Lures Only/Delayed Harvest so it usually is pretty open.
      As I was fishing down stream I noticed a guy sitting on the bank with a bait caster rig.  He was fishing with PWer Bate in a big hole on the creek.  As politely as I could I informed him that he was in an artifical lures only section and he gave me a funny look and told me that there was nothing natural about lime green pwr bate.  When I asked him about the three fish he had he said "They stocked them last week and I waited till today to catch them"  I guess that is what they mean in KY by delayed harvest.  I was simply unable to think of any thing else to say except "Good Luck" and then I moved downstream, way downstream.

I would of ratted them too.  The rules are for everyone not just for a few.

Most of the places I fish in KY "lol" dont have cell coverage! ...I would have laughed at the guy it would of been funny to actually hear some one say that "he did have a point nothing natural about that bait.. lol ..

Fishing may be done with artificial lures only constructed of metal, plastic, rubber, or wood, or with flies and streamers constructed of natural or synthetic materials. All such lures may be used with spinning or fly fishing gear.

The use or possession of any natural bait, baitfish, fishbait, bait paste and similar substances, fish eggs (natural or molded) or any other edible, substance is prohibited.

Fished a delayed harvest area a bit this afternoon and two guys were chucking berkely trout worms all around my drift.  Said to the one dude, "I don't mean to tell you your business, but I don't think you're allowed to use scented and flavored worms here."  His reply: "Who gives a sh!!t.  I do it all the time and I'll keep doing it till a game warden says something."  That only bothered me half as much as the fact that there wasn't another soul in sight and they both had to fish within 20 feet on either side of me.
 
Last week in the same spot, one guy comes trudging upstream with 3 on a stringer, and all kinds of bait popping out of his vest.  He sees me, gets all nervous and says, "You're allowed to keep trout here right?"  Told him "No, it's a delayed harvest artificials only."  "I'm outta here," he says.  Not 20 minutes later, 2 other guys start fishing about 50 yards upstream and one guys catches a couple.  His buddy yells, "Hey, whatcya usin?"  "I'm pounding them on salted minnows."  So I walk upstream, since I was getting ready to leave anyway and tell them the rules.  "Oh, we didn't see any signs."  Meanwhile, they almost hit one when they pulled into the parking area.  This delayed harvest area is over a mile long, sandwiched by normal regulations water, and very well marked. 
 
Indisguiz, I don't get it either.  Guess I need to look up the WCO's phone number and program into my phone. 

Side, did you say you fish in KY or with it LOL
 
Call the WCO's they'll hammer these jackers. Especially the ones with the I don't give a **** attitude. If illegal fishing and keeping is done on the DHALO areas trout season will be over mid May.
 
Don't be like these smilies, take action.
