They are concerned and don't want to get any tickets, they are afraid to take worms to fish with now.
These park service idiots are out of control. Too bad this was ever put under the park service.

See section 2.3 - fishing
It explains that the concurrency follows Washington state Fish & wildlife regulations.

Could it be where tribal enforcement and WDFW enforcement laws are a grey area ? Not one agency knows where the exact boundaries are ?
Much more likely it's a case of individual incompetence. It is perfectly legal to use bait on Lake Roosevelt.

Me thinks the same thing. But it only takes one individual on either side to make your life miserable.

Guy sounds like a Nazi to me. Not sure where he is from, they had never seen the guy before or since, but he was in a NPS uniform.
The info whacker1 posted clarified a lot of things. I would like to see this Nazi myself, I would get a badge number and provide it to everyone I could to make his life a little tougher, just like he was trying to make life tougher for the 3 people mentioned who were simply on an innocent fishing trip.
There is a long list of people who have been cited for idiotic things on Lake Roosevelt, many of these things I have heard about were dismissed when the individuals went to federal court in Spokane. But people should never have to go to federal court for accidentally scraping a tree in a parking lot when turning around and idiotic things like that.

This happened several months ago, they were near Hunters, they had a 12 pack of beer with them on the bank and the guy threatened to write them for that too, write them for the worms, and write them for some other things, he said they could not have any alcohol with them at all, no bait, couldn't camp anywhere on the shoreline, and I forget what all else he said he would write them for.

Exactly. And they sure as heck shouldn't have to go to federal court for throwing a worm on a bobber and crackin' a beer if both are perfectly legal where they are at.

We've been camping on Roosevelt for a LONG time. A couple weeks ago was our friends 52nd year in a row. I think our family is at almost 40 years.
We've never had any issue with the rangers. We see them almost every day and they've never been anything but polite and proffesional.
