When I was visiting NC last fall and decided on some collecting this was my experience ....
There are restrictions on the size of the seine and other gear restrictions, as well as "game fish" restrictions I believe on Sunfish, but I also believe they specificy Lepomis sp. There is a book that the NC Wildlife Commission puts out, I got one-in-a Sprawl Mart for free and it clarified greatly what the rules were and for where. A license was all I needed. I checked the Menhenick book out of the UNCG library while I was down there and it was a great reference. I am assuming most of the libraries down there have it too. The only problems I had were alot of County (Guilford and some of the adjacent) and City Parks restrictions on access etc.

Hi Derek,
There are a couple of very good books for NC. Menhenick's Fishes of NC and
Rohde, et al.'s Fishes of the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are
both excellent. They are also both available for a decent price-in-
jonahsaquarium.com .
As far as what is required for collecting there, I believe just a valid
fishing license. I am not certain of the net or seine requirements though.
I do know they have a screwy rule about all sunfishes being gamefish though
so be careful when collecting Enneacanthus and maybe even Elassoma species.
Maybe Moon or Fritz can clear this up a bit for you.

area?
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:36:58 -0500
whats a good fish book for the central North Carolina area? or for the
whole state? the South Eastern region?
Also, does anyone know what's required legally to collect here?
nonprotected species of course. I've read alot of the NC Wildlife Resources
site and haven't got a clear understanding of what it says.
thanks,
