Hello, I am camping at Wallace falls next week and wanted to try my luck however I really am having a hard time understanding what rules for this (or any) area are in effect. Would someone be able to tell me what this means:
For example... is it closed ? what can I catch? What are the Season Dates for? What else should i know? Thank you for your help.. this is all very confusing. Thank you
Much Appreciation!
