I was told by another Las Colinas security officer that there's no fishing in Thomas Jefferson Park.

I just said ok and kept fishing.

This is correct, even in spots that don't have signs posted are off limits if the departments owns them.

I do have a question in my head as to some of the aspects involved with the canals. By law a bridge is public property, including under it, which is why you can fish under one but not on one. My beef with DCURD is isn't under a bridge still legal to fish since it's public property? Next, the state of Texas lays claim and ownership of all surface water and fish in said water which is why it can regulate it. If the state owns the water in the canal and not the city doesn't that mean they can't keep someone from kayaking on it unless the state passes off on it? So in that sense someone could take a kayak under a bridge and launch it into the canal and then have free reign on the water, as long as it is a publicly accessible waterway (defined as one that has mean width of 30ft through out the system).

Fishing from the bank there, absolutely not allowed by them though since they own the land.

Anyone fished Delaware Creek? Looking at google it seems that there are some parks in south Irving for parking and access. If they are worth going to it would be a lot shorter drive for me than to Grand Prairie where I normally go.

I've been a few times, between Irving Blvd and 6th St, and never even gotten a nibble.

Fritz park has a few bass, but it's hardly worth spending more than an hour there.
