Note that you must have a valid fishing license and comply with all applicable rules and regulations if you wish to fish. You can obtain a fishing license from most hardware stores and by mail. For more information on regulations and how to get a license by mail, go here.
If you do fish, remember:
- Do not clean fish at the campsite - NEVER leave fish remains at a campsite, as they may attract bears!
- Leave fish remains on a secluded rock for the birds to clean up, or dispose of in DEEP water.
