Deciding where to fish may at first seem obvious. Go to the nearest lake, river, or stream and cast out, right? The answer is, maybe. All states regulate where, when, and how you can fish in some way as a conservation measure. It is important to be aware of your state laws regarding fishing and to obtain the proper permits as required by the state you live in. In addition to this you must also be aware of the fishing laws and regulations of any state in which you intend to fish. Most states offer out of state visitors a temorary fishing permit, usually at a reasonble cost. In addition to general state laws you must also check locally for additional regulations such as county parks and or private properties.
Private properties are usually marked as such and should be avoided completely unless you either accompanies by the owner or you have WRITTEN permission from the owner clearly stating WHEN and WHERE you will fish. DO NOT FISH on private property otherwise.
