Well-being rules As anglers, we show consideration for other anglers, the environment we live in, nature and wildlife. Think about the damage a discarded line or hook can cause in nature. Waste, food, paper etc. are thrown in the trash. Marking fishing spots with a rod, backpack, etc. and then walking away is not permitted. Supervision Fishermen must be able to show a fishing license, receipt for paid service fee, and identification when requested by a supervisor.
