Yes this has everything to do with fishing because we can't trespass and fish legally.
It is better to be informed where you can legally fish. You better be very sure the land you're on is open to the public before refusing to leave when requested. I've had that happen to me once by someone with a grazing permit on public land. But I was 100% certain where I was and even knew the grazing lease holder name ahead of time. I replied to him by his name and told him the laws about grazing permits protected my right to be there. End of story without me having to call the cops on him. Look at the maps/ print out if necessary and take a cheap GPS with you if there is any doubt. Can't get much easier than that.
Thanks Leslie for giving the other side of the story.
