My crazy moment was with a BLM guy over at Milner. I was at Muskrat bend in my pontoon. I rowed up river a mile and was fishing the pump hole. This was in November. I didn't catch a thing. Well I notice a truck parked near mine so I kept fishing. A couple hours go by and I make it back. The first thing the BLM ranger wants to know is WHERE IS YOUR GUN???I said I was fishing I didn't have a gun. He rode me like a pony at the circus about where my gun was. Finally he gave up and asked to see my fishing licence and he said I saw you fishing with TWO poles!!
Ya I said I do it all the time. I have a two pole permit. By this time he was pissed and said you didn't pay to get into the park. I said I didn't know that you had to in winter. Steck was open in the winter, and many other parks were free in winter. He walked to the truck and came back handed me my licence back and told me to pay at the entry or he would give me a ticket.
I have known a few BLM rangers but this one was an A-hole. I haven't been back to the park since. Ron
