fishing waters
Where anglers cast
Fishing waters are bodies of water where fishing is permitted or practiced—lakes, rivers, streams, or coastal areas managed for recreational or commercial fishing.
The term often implies regulation: The state stocked the fishing waters with trout.
Fishing waters may be public or private, and access is frequently controlled by permits or licenses.
