Informational pamphlet for newbs

[sniderscott]

Hi guys, With seeing fish and wildlife more and more on the NSR ticketing people who don't know the rules (good on them btw), I was wondering if there was somewhere I could get a bunch of leaflets with the basic fishing laws.

I know there are a lot of people who are trying it for the first time and are ignorant to the law, I try my best to educate people, but handing them a leaflet would be a lot easier.

AAAND I am not defending ignorance of the law, just trying to help

Why not just get a copy of the regs. They are free for anyone that wants one and should be given out when buying a license.

What should be stamped on the licence in huge bold letters is: read the Regulations before you start fishing.

They can even add a smily face

Wouldn't be hard to make one.

2 page document for a double sided pamphlet, formatted horizontally so it can be folded twice (3 panels) put some walleye pictures, and some city pictures on it to fill space. A short introduction, an exert of the regs for the NSR, fish handling instructions, some sort of notice on barbed hooks (yes they're legal, but info should be presented on how to de-barb if/when law changes), and in big bold letters PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT.

could probably get 1000 made at a print shop for a pretty reasonable price. I'll pitch in if you do.

Informational pamphlet...lol

I know the OP means well, but as others have said:

READ THE REGS NEWBS!

There is no such thing as a short introduction to the regs. People would look at it, maybe or maybe not read it, probably assume that its the only regualtions and go about there merry way and likely continue to break the regulations becasue they didint care to read the actual fishing regulations in first place.

The intention is good, but there is already a document in place, the problem is getting the rule breakers to actually read it in the first place.

After this post I decided to add a link to the regulations in my signature.
