How to find out if a body of water is legal to fish at

Question: How do I find if a body of water is legal to fish out of? I am wondering about a local lake with a public road that leads up to it. There are no private property signs posted anywhere. However, from a boat you can see signs are posted in some of the yards.
Answer: Even though private property perimeters are required to be either fenced, under cultivation, or posted with no trespassing signs at 1/3 of a mile intervals (Penal Code Section 602.8) so the public knows or can determine correctly if the property is private, it's best to stay on the safe side. If you can't find signs specifically prohibiting access, trespassing and fishing, you may want to contact your local sheriff's office, which should be able to define which waters and properties are public, which are private and where the boundaries are.
