I think the definition you listed says it all. If you fish on property that does not grant access to the public, regardless of who stocks it, you are breaking the law. Period!

The people that continually break the law while fishing, whether it be trespassing, poaching or exceeding the bag limit, are the people who give all of us a bad name. It's because of cases like this that people don't open up additional fishing areas to the public, because they already have to contend with the lawbreakers.

There are plenty of areas, (especially in CA) to fish legally. Why break the law? I think a lot of people do it because they are unable to adapt to the high-pressured lakes and catch quality fish. So they break into private property where you could catch a fish on a shoestring. That's not something I would brag about.

Obviously everyone has a different set of morals. Trespassing and poaching are not on MY to-do list.
