Wyoming now requires an AIS (Aquatic Non-Invasive Species) decal for each boat, canoes and kayaks included. Non-motorised craft are required to have the decal affixed to the starboard bow. Resident fee is $5, non-resident is $15. Motorised ceaft fees are higher. Inflatable craft under 10 feet are exempt. A decal and fee is required for each craft. It now costs me $30 annually to make my canoes and kayaks legal for Wyoming waters. The decal does not preclude inspections. Yellowstone inspects watercraft but the Wyoming AIS decal is not required as the state does not have jurisdiction there. I refuse to put these silly stickers on my boats, especially my strip-built. I keep them in a water wallet in my vest for presentation. I'm sure I'll be cited for such behaviour before long but I'm a long time proponent of civil disobedience.... especially when it comes to putting silly stickers on my strip-built boats :) Holmes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
