If I had a private pond stocked with private fish, paid for with private monies via private HOA dues, I'd simply fish and dare someone to ticket me. While lawsuits are a mega pain in the rear to deal with, that's a slam dunk win and at the very minimum, prorated refunded HOA dues and a dismissed ticket. I guess it depends on how much pain in the rear I was willing to become AND also deal with (plus make enemies out of your HOA or WDFW - which is always a nice bonus).

I guess maybe I wouldn't fish after all. Seems like too much hassle and work for some 8" ditch pickles. IDK.
