[quote wiperhunter2]You are right, this subject has come up before and unless you are speaking about another thread, one member stated he receive a ticket for continuing to fish at Bear lake after he caught his limit. I guess they were out ice fishing and the DWR guy that gave him the ticket was fishing nearby, as soon as he had brought up one Cutt over his limit, the DWR officer walked over and gave him the ticket, without even giving the member a chance to release the fish. He told the member that he was breaking the law to continue to fish after he had his limit. Now of course this is hear say, because I wasn't there and who knows if he fought the ticket, he might have won but that was the story.[/quote]
If this story is true than neither the angler nor the officer knew the rule which is very clear and says (word for word):
"You may continue to fish while in possession of a full daily limit, but you must immediately release any additional fish you catch"
Either way, it pays to know the current rules and regulations. You never know when you are going to be challenged/questioned. So thanks to Catchinon for bringing this up!
