Tobias,
You need to look at the Indiana code. Your talking about a legal issue. I can understand why you might think what you think. How-ever anglers who canoe or wade can legally fish these waters as long as they don't go beyond the high water marks which is bascially the line that separates weeds and water levels.
I don't know where you get your information, but if it were to ever go to court, you would lose !
Lov2fish couldn't of said it better !! Thats just the way it is ! Like it or not, that's the law !!!
