The Law

You cannot cast a line while sitting atop a camel, giraffe, or any other non-equine beast of burden. This bizarre rule likely stems from early 20th-century blanket legislation aimed at preventing people from using exotic circus animals to spook local wildlife. While you might get away with fishing from horseback, riding a dromedary into an Idaho trout stream will land you in hot water.
