Thank you, Mr. Hoyer, for your informative answer. I look forward to searching both the Richmond hills, and Tilden Park!

I have gotten--and am waiting for delivery of--a general sport-fishing license, as that is what is indicated on the Fish & Game CA website as being required for having up to 2 Rubber Boas in your possession.

I want to be legal about this. I believe I need to renew my license yearly, and I'm fine with that.

If you know something different, please don't hesitate to let me know. I really appreciate your advice and experience.

p.s. I submitted to your son (I believe), my info regarding the RB that I caught in Teheya, WA a couple of weekends ago, including some pictures. That was just so awesome for me--the catching, and the ability to help someone collect data!
