§ 8604 Protecting Legal Fishing Gear

• •Don't mess with or break fishing nets, traps, or gear that someone else is using legally in the water.
• •This rule doesn't apply to fish and wildlife workers doing their job.

You see a fishing net in a lake and decide to cut it or move it because it's in your way.

This is against the law because you're disturbing someone else's legal fishing gear.
