This is on the lower portion of Pool 3 on the Upper Mississippi River.

Will they have a little icon of a machine gun toting guard on the map?

Now that would be cool!

After using the Navionics web app that allows measurement to be taken, the restricted zone is MUCH smaller than I thought in the past.

I’m not even sure why the angler was harassed in the first place since he wasn’t even close to the area described in the laws.

It would have been nice to know about the Navionics app back then.
