As I was reading what I wrote. I just happen to pick them up to look at something. Even if a lake is open year around it will sometimes be listed because of special regulations,such as chumming allowed or not. Motors allowed or not. It pays to have the regs with you when you fish so you can answer all of the game wardens questions when he tries to write you a ticket for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.A good map also helps.
