bow fi

You can fish most public waters with a bow for nongame fish like carp and sucker.  There are however exceptions to protect the public - including within City Limits where they have ordinances prohibiting the discharge of weapons and high use areas where an arrow possess a risk if it skips.  Within City Limits - check with local law enforcement for weapons restrictions.  Outside City limits, most waters are posted if there are weapon discharges restrictions for safety reasons. Make sure you have a fishing license when bow fishing for nongame fish.
