Re: Warden/K9 Teams to Patrol Bassmaster Tournament

I think someone with some conection to the tournament should contact Carrie Wilson at DFG at cwilson@dfg.ca.gov. They should address if the k9 units will be checking Red Bluff boat drags and all the waterskiing events in the state too , or is it just a means to further harass anglers.
