I grew up on and around Caddo. The Game Wardens are HARD CORE, so if you go, you need to have it together: fishing License, Life vest, lights, horn, throw cushion, fire extingisher, etc.. They check a lot of people on that lake ( and river ) and rarely have I seen them take mercy on anyone. It's about the same for hunting too. There are a ton of road hunters on Hwy 43 and they patrol that area between state park and Smithland Grocery pretty regular.

We used to have a deer camp on Carter's Lake and the GWs would come into our camp to eat/hang out. 1 time one of our members shot a deer and didn't tag it correctly... After dinner, the GW went over, noticed the deer and then wrote the guy a ticket.

Also, they have the fake full bodied remote control deer that they plant along the edge of 43 and sit back and watch people shoot it and then write tickets..

I say all this to let you know.. they are serious.
