General

Anglers may catch a limit for each fish species in a single day. Daily limits include fish that are eaten or given away that same day. You cannot possess more than one limit of each fish species at any time. Fish that are at your camp, being transported by you or by someone else for you or stored at your home are counted towards your angling limit.
