Looking for a new place to fish?

If you're looking for a change of water, try one of the Game and Fish walk-in fishing areas. Walk-in fishing areas are private lands that Game and Fish leases for public fishing and access to otherwise inaccessible public land. All you need is your current fishing license, conservation stamp and the walk-in area map to start fishing. See each walk-in area rules, species allowed, dates and interactive map>
