[cool][#0000ff]Glad you had a good time, but you better read the Proclamation better. You can get a ticket for handing off fish to other anglers while on the water. The only way you can legally transfer possession of gamefish is either at a residence or a food locker...along with proper documentation (see Proclamation).[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]These urban fisheries lakes are stocked mainly for kids and for adults who cannot get out to fish elsewhere. Unfortunately, most of the fish are harvested within days of being stocked. Many people treat these ponds as their own private fish market and keep everything they catch...or what they can talk other anglers out of. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you are not going to use the fish you catch, they should be carefully handled and quickly returned. But, under no circumstances should you give them to someone else...even if they beg or threaten you.[/#0000ff]
