It's been probably 10 years ago now, I believe it was Doyle Beck that had the Bonneville County Sheriff cite an ice fisherman, who was regularly on this website. And as I remember, yes, Curt69 is right to my remembrance, the Judge had some ties to Beck and Beck won citing the ice fisherman for trespassing. I cant remember how many people pushed the F&G to take this on or it would affect navigable waters throughout Idaho, but F&G refused to help appeal this to District Court. F&G really got a tounge lashing at the time, but, most everyone has forgotten about it yet no one dare go back in there because of the court decision and it cost the fella one hell of a lot of money if I remember right. the guy asked for help to appeal the decision and very few if any would help pony up money to try and fight the trespassing ticket.
I would not push the issue either as there are supposedly cameras on the water and Beck said he would have everyone who went in those waters cited. I cant remember the judges name, but if anyone can remember, and the judge is not working any longer, might be a good time to push the issue again if you have deep pockets or set it up with F&G. Hope that helps.
