Just curious,
with everyone hitting the water pretty early for eyes/crappie on pymy or any of the other lakes, has anyone been stopped and reminded about the new rule requiring you to wear a life jacket until April? Personally, I am not a fan of the rule and I am just wondering if people are getting pinched for it, warned about it or nothing is being said at all.

I think that starts Nov 1 2012 here's a link

Been to Pymy twice this week. Haven't seen any law enforcement presence on the lake at all so I doubt anyone is getting pinched because no one is out to do the pinching. Hopefully they recognize this rule for what is..... Stupid. Another example of government feeling the need to protect people from themselves. Chug

I just got one of those fanny pack inflatables....haven't used it yet though.
They're a little pricey, but I could never fish in a 'normal' PFD all day.

oopsie,
I thought it went into effect last November.

The PFBC also requires you to pin your mittens your coat, and you're not allowed to wear shorts until April 1st.
