    Inspection rates probably differ depending on where you launch. We get "inspected" 3/4 of the time at Kezar. Also got a warning from the warden once for not having a sticker. For what its worth, if I complied with Maine's regs and placed the sticker next to the registration #s, I would be in violation of Va regs.

    I did at LakeSide when I checked in this year.
    Also, when I went to Great Pond, there was a college kid at the ramp.

    Boarded at China by EPO, first thing they noticed was I had my sticker....all good btw.

    They usually don't. When we fish boader waters with Maine we don't get the extra sticker.

    5$ for every vessel on Candlewood in July. Theyre gonna be rich. Man does CT suck. Freshwater Anglers are consistently taken advantage of.

    Where do you see just $5?
    If your addy is correct than it's $20 for us outsiders as I read it.
