You are responsible for knowing and following the current rules where you fish. Always check the official agency before fishing.
Safety and assumption of risk
Fishing and being near water involve risks, including drowning, slips and falls, hooks, sharp tools, weather, and wildlife. You use our information at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety and the safety of anyone in your care, especially children. Wear a life jacket where appropriate and follow posted rules.
