It has always been a pet peeve of mine that the angler books weren't available until well into the season. The process needs to be changed if it can't be ready for when I purchase my license. I feel for Medski and so many others! I remember camping with my Dad was a big deal for me as a kid. He needed to schedule vacation days well in advance because it was such a popular time for people to be away! I know changes are zipped into the guide late, and the guide is finalized late to try to give us chance to take advantage of the changes right away, but it's foolish. An Angler's guide with all regulations needs to be ready to hand out the day a license is purchased!

We hear about possible changes coming down the pipe because there are so many of us here that get inside information. Most of the general public has no idea there is even a change brewing for opening day! Imagine the issues they're going to have with vacation time requests and camping reservations! So yes, it really does have an effect!
