§ 8603 Fishing Gear Restrictions

• •You can't use nets, traps, or spears to catch fish unless the law says it's okay.
• •Only regular fishing with a rod and line is allowed unless you have special permission.
• •Helping someone else use illegal tools to catch fish is also against the law.

You go to a lake and see someone using a big net to catch a bunch of fish at once.

This is not allowed because the law says you can only use a fishing rod and line unless you have special permission. Using a net like this could get you in trouble.
