I have the same list that the NH Dept of Safety puts out and it also lists Pickerel Pond Laconia as Boat/Motor Restriction - Seaplanes prohibited.

Unlike the other lakes and ponds on the list it does not quote an RSA or
SAF-C number that would certainly make it easier to look up the effective date.

The list from the NH Department of Safety, Bureau of Marine Patrol that I printed out is dated May 15, 2007 so it would be unlikely that Bossey's was actually operational last August (2008) as NoBozo found on the web.

I would guess that Bossey moved on and didn't tell anyone at the FAA but his neighbors petitioned the NH Dept of Safety, Bureau of Marine Patrol and made his return illegal!

As to which agency to report the violation of the law? You could try the Marine Patrol but I doubt that they would send up their airwing to chase him down, or you could try the FAA but if I read the post by NoBozo correctly, according to the FAA there was no violation of the law.
