I hate this...Do it at a lake, fishing for ditch pickles and crappie, where it is practical. People have their grills half in the road, leave litter and brother residents. Just my opinion...

Ok, sarcasm, hard to tell through the written word unless I know you. What are you gonna grill and where? Not sure if you know from the "other forum" I am McDonald's chef. Perhaps I could give you some pointers...

TCAs, No-Kills, listed WTS, registered trout clubs, and non-stocked trout waters are all open to fishing. Any trout must be returned until Opening Day.
