ARTICLE 4. Reciprocal Sport Fishing Licenses
Section 7181


CA Fish & Game Code § 7181 (through 2012 Leg Sess) What's This?

(a) A person fishing from the shore in the waters of the Colorado River located in Arizona or California shall have in his or her possession a valid sportfishing license issued by the state that has jurisdiction over that shore. That shoreline fishing does not require a Colorado River special use stamp as long as the fisherman remains on the shore and does not embark on the water. Any person, however, having in his or her possession a valid Arizona sportfishing license and a California special use stamp may fish from the shore in the waters of the Colorado River, or adjacent waters, except canals, drains, and ditches used to transport water used for irrigation or domestic purposes, located in California, without a sportfishing license issued by the State of California.

(b) This section does not apply to licenses, permits, reservations, tags, or other entitlements issued through the Automated License Data System.

(Amended by Stats. 2001, Ch. 112, Sec. 49. Effective January 1, 2002.)
