That sign that says "wading by fishermen only" must be confusing.

That should take care of those wading without fishing.  Of course it says nothing about swimming.

Ok, thanks for the free fishing weekend feedback.  Just a side note on this whole topic, typically you know what to expect fishing the parks on the weekend vs. the secluded streams in MO where you may see no one.  I don't expect to hit Bennett on the weekend and have long care free drifts with the fly rod, no kids in the water, and the odds are good if I'm catching fish someone is going to drop in with 10' of me and maybe even cast over my line.   Knowing what to expect is the majority of the battle with MO trout fishing.  This 'free weekend' is a new thing to me, but other than that I've pretty much seen all that has been discussed here first hand (other than that swimming thing in Zone 1...that is pretty odd).  Opening day at Bennett is much different than Crane Creek in the middle of winter.  Expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it is something different.
