I spoke with my local CO this morning, and he filled me in on a few things.

Water patrol is now being greatly increased across the state. It has something to do with the KDFWR needs to have X number of hours of water patrol in order to get Federal grant/aid money that is available to the state. The CO said water patrol is pretty much the only thing any of them are doing now, and they're doing a lot of it.

So when you go to the lake, be sure you have your ducks in a row. Random inspections are WAY up this year.
