DFG STRIP SEARCH - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

DFG's search rights are much broader than police officers. Police officers are required by law to ask to search unless they have probable cause; where as if you admit to fishing or hunting, or are observed fishing or hunting, they do NOT need to ask.

I try to be extra legal, and can't say that I have personally had any issues with DFG; I just cooperate and everything goes smoothly. In all my years of fishing and hunting, I have only encountered 1 DFG officer that was a jerk, and in his case it was with a captiol J; but it all ended fine. I just wish I would see them out there more often.

Just one question about your encounter, was it as enjoyable for you as it was for the officer?
