ruthead Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 We were down there for a couple of days after Thanksgiving but now I'm not sure if we were in legal water or not after all the questions raised here. "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"

Members wkelley Posted January 7, 2015 Members Posted January 7, 2015 thats funny. the map on the mdc website it says zone 3 starts at the old dam. also no where under the roaring river fishing regulations or the map on the mdc site does it state that zone 3 is closed for the winter catch and release season. i find this interesting for someone who is coming in from out of town to go fishing and has done their research, but in reality may be fishing in a closed zone unknowingly, and could be subject to a mdc fine. hmmm. maybe mdc needs to update their information. tim can you point me in a direction to find out where it says this zone is closed for that period? i believe you i just want to see this in writing from mdc somewhere.
timsfly Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 MDC has plenty of signage up that gives you that info, if not when Steve catches you, he will inform you while he is writing out your ticket, you can fish down to the whistle bridge now, the area between the old dam and the whistle bridge is a strange area now, you got to have a permit to fish it(3$ day tag)the 3$ tag only applies to march 1st-october 31st but below the whistle bridge you can fish on just your trout stamp, March 1st- October 31st There are several of these signs posted around, plus all the lower access roads(zone 3) are padlocked and have this sign on them. The MDC really should lable the area below the dam to the new bridge zone 2A or something like that, because you can still use anything you want right below the dam, and into zone 3, but all of zone 2 is fly only, it does make it a bit confusing. We are hoping the MDC is going to extend zone 2 a mile or so further on down into zone 3, making that part of zone 3 into zone 2, making zone 3 about 1/2 the length it is now, there have been talks about doing this, but nothing has ever been done, yet.

trythisonemv Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I wad under the impression that you could fish below rr any time of year as it is a white ribbon area. Where does that start then?
timsfly Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 It starts where off Davis holler enters Roaring River, just a bit above the big gravel conservation parking area, on F hwy, just past the sign that tells you, you are leaving Roaring River State park. Below the park, zone 3 is closed nov 1st- till the end of February, it reopens for fishing march 1st.
