I'm not accusing anyone of doing wrong here! It's just that each year the fishing regs get more and more complex and detailed, down to the individual region and even to the individual stream or lake (certainly true here in Oregon!). Those of us who want to fish unfortunately have to check out the regs for where we are going as part of trip planning. There are game wardens who do get into the back country--I've met some!
