Boat entry question for quagga

[troutsniffer]

I'm heading to Silverwood lake tomorrow and I'm not sure about any of the new rules (inspection wise) for 2014. My boat tags are up to date , boat is dry and all but are you required to have
have a quaqga tag to get in? Or just current tags will do? Also If you are required to have anything else can it be purchased there at the lake?

Thanks for your reply's

Marine water is defined by the California State Parks Division of Boating and

each time the vessel registration is renewed.

so instead of $8 and $16 every other year. why not just make it $12 a year... why do they make their lives more difficult?

Because they are the government and they are here to take our money. Oh I mean to help us.

Higher math is not a common aptitude within our states employment workers pool.

My apologies to any state employee that may read this, you are the exception I'm sure.

Lol, these are the same folks who grew up learning and believing in "fuzzy numbers". They also believe the true unemployment rate is currently 7% and that the source of government revenue is endless...
