Good deal bud! Glad to hear ya got a good one. From what I have seen in about a total of 5 weeks within 2 months though... you are very permitted to go where you would like. Nice to see another here though that seems to want to follow laws rather than what you would like the law to be. Hats off for that! As far as what is legal and what is not... all I can tell you is that I have Never seen a warden even when I wish I had. I've seen many that were disrespectful of a beautiful fishery, and I wish more would adhere to this: Clean up the trash you see on the creek, take only what is legal and take your own trash home and come back the next week to something better than how you left it. (My wife and I typically take a trashbag scpecifically for others trash.)
