And just to add, if you aren't aware, most reservoirs are managed by ACOE.As long as you are not fishing on Army Corp. of Engineers property
Remember, you cannot fish with a Glock, S&W, etc., you must use a pole!

I was wondering what the rules of open carry are while fishing? Specifically while fishing at kingsbury or other dnr properties. I was also wondering if the same rules applied to hunting and yes I do have a ltch.
Also to note is that most reservoirs that are ACOE managed are only the reservoir, so you can typically fish from the shore/bank while OC even if the reservoir is ACOE managed.
Just no carrying in a boat while on said reservoir.
There are exceptions to this so check each property individually to find out exactly what is and isn't managed by ACOE.
So is it ACoE managed OR owned that makes the difference? Or dosen't it make a difference?
I was at Cataract Falls last week for example, and the sign at the entrance said something like managed in "partnership" or maybe it was "cooperation" with the ACoE. So, who owns the site? Who manages the site? Does it make a difference?
The Cagles Mill Lake brochure says the, "recreational facilities at the lake are maintained and operated by the IDNR with the exception of the dam site which the Corps maintains and operates." So, presumably one could carry on the rec facilities (and lake), but not on "the dam site" then?
Certainly not potentially confusing.
