bow fishing and frog giggin

[freekforge]

I cant get the dnr site to load on my phone so i figured id ask you guys. I suddenly have the urge to go bow fishing can i do it at the salomonie resevoir? How about mississenewa river? If i can go on the river can you do it in the city like around the park.

The same questions apply for the frog giggin. And what kind of arrows do you use for frogs?

I've bowfished both salamonie and mississinewa resevoirs for probably 30 years. Never had any problems. Have had my fishing license checked once in all those years. It is a blast. As far as frogs go, I have never used a bow on them. My arrows would probably damage them beyond any use. Good luck, you'll love it!

It used to be no lights on moving water but according to what I pulled from the 2013 regs online that has changed (when I don't know).
Proly want Asian carp killed at any time and opened it up for that

Its only large streams? I thought I remember seeing large streams, small streams and non following bodies.
