Fish subject to bag and possession limits but not length limits, may be processed before transport if the llets are kept in one piece until cooked, so the bag and possession limits can be determined.

Any sh in possession while on the water will be subject to length and bag limits that apply to that water body. Once off the water, the sh may be lleted for transportation and storage.
