Ouch...........Originally posted by Fatum:yes, and they are enforced quite strictly ..... park rangers drive around asking to see your license and all that ... and they'll ask to search your car too if they suspect you were hiding some undersized fishies somewhere ...
first time I went fishing, I didn't read the zoning laws properly, and went fishing at a "barbless" lake with barbed lures ..... and got slapped with an $80 fine ....
you can't use a net here(usa) to catch fish unless you're native american(indian)....licenses are required for non-natives and there are limits for how many you can catch and a minimum size.....every now and then you read abt people being arrested for fishing using gill nets, usually viet namese.Originally posted by hisoka:why not use nets to catch the fish? can get more and get to eat more

Eh, I thought was farmed salmon. The wild ones are okay, right?
Was it David Suzuki's report? He did one on pacific salmon.
