Fish and Game Wardens are spread thin throughout the state - it is every hunter's and angler's responsibility to help protect the resources upon which their recreation depends.
Remember, Fish and Game Wardens are sworn peace officers charged with enforcing state and federal laws, and should be given the same respect that you would give a city police officer, county sheriff's deputy, or state highway patrol officer.
Continuing to fish in a location where you are predominantly catching fish that the regulations prohibit you from keeping and are not surviving release may be considered a waste of fish.
