"Frontplaters"

[Nocktavius]

Realistically, I don't want to see anyone out there- front plates are just an easy target for playful (and sometimes not so playful!) ire.

There are a couple prominent YouTube "stars of their own show" that drift in from out of state to content farm and name drop our already over-pressured waterways but yet remain mysterioso regarding ones back on their home turf (one in particular has an affinity for cigars and has become chummy with some bigger names in FF of late than I'd expect a YouTuber to manage). Someday I hope to personally express my gratitude to all the publicity he's brought to one specific river in the form of some loud splashy rocks.

The spot got burnt on PAFF and it showed up on his Google search 😉

If it was a secret and it got burned here. Must have been you.

Yup. If a vehicle is there, I'm annoyed way before I see the plate.

The equalizer and the end of a long running joke 😁

Haha. I know better than that. I was making a joke regarding the thread a little while back complaining about spot burning here on PAFF and it showing up on people google searches.

The joke isn't as funny when you have to explain it though. Oh well.

Don't forget, some of us front platers grew up here and are back visiting family and favorite places. Look close amd I bet you see few military base access stickers on windshields, too.

Hopefully cooler heads are prevailing? I kind of miss the single plate status of Penna. Texas required 2 plates but weren't d**** about it, butt WA? that's totally the state racketeering...

The overall response here seems as if it is used in jest. Good to know. I wouldn't expect someone in NY or MD or maybe even NJ (😁) to be upset if I were fishing there, and I reciprocate that to them as well.

Living on the PA/MD border I curse the MD cars when I'm here, and hope mine doesn't get egged when I'm down in Maryland.

Lack of front plates not a problem on thes end of the state.
I think it it a money grab as the toll system works with rear license plates the PASP/PennDOT needs to enforce the no covering rear plates and replace the plates that are unreadable.
Probably a problem in Southeast Pa but they manifest their own problems down there.

If you see my NY truck streamside tomorrow go ahead and leave some flies in the bed, they'll be much appreciated

They only bother me when they out number me! One day on Penns 2 years ago I pulled in the parking lot and 10 cars were there. 7 of them were out of staters!

Would you seriously do this?

I get p*ssed! I leave NJ to get away from those people, I don't want to see them out of state too!

Seriously though, it doesn't bother me, come to my state, buy an out of state license, fish a few days, be cool. It only bothers me when people trash a place or violate the rules, like swimming. Those folks can stay home but of course many are, I have the same issues at home that Bam has, except they are front platers from NY or eastern NJ.

I just got back from a work trip to Onondaga, NY. I ended up buying a NY license and fishing NineMile and Skanteales creeks. The people I met couldn't have been nicer and gave me no issues as an out of stater. Same thing when I went out to dinner or to the bars in Syracuse, everyone was uber friendly. That changed when I came down into the Fingerlakes, much more like NJ attitudes there.

Didn’t fish Chit!? How were the flows on 9? Butternut? Probably some of my favorite waters.

I live in SW Pa….. it’s not exactly a trout fishing destination. But, I don’t have an issue with them if they are respectful human beings….I would rather receive $$$$ from MD, VA, NJ, or NY than give it to them.
