Looks like I have some water to hit this weekend and hopefully not get shot.  😀

Corey, you and this guy may still get shot, but at least you will be on the side of legality.

Well said, Scott.

[Corey Kruitbosch]

Corey, hopefully you won’t have to find out if the landowners have heard (or care) about the change in the law!

No doubt … There are some land owners around here who are real persnickety about people on their property. So, I’m sure there will be some discussions. Hopefully the guys who are out there putting this law to the test will be congenial and good ambassadors for our sport.

Just don’t be the first one to fire a shot. 😉

If you do decide to make use of of section carry a copy of the ruling with you.

I celebrated this ruling the best way I knew how, on a section of river that I have wanted to fish since I was 14. I fished so late that the local sheriff was waiting to make sure they had not lost a fisherman.

John: I did have a copy with me!

Man,
That is awesome news.
