"The Parks Department is not responsible for any law suits brought by fish or their immediate families." Is that what you are refering to?
With a disclaimer like that I would not want to fish there. I don't think I could take the chance of being sued by a LMB.

this too "all fish caught must be put back into the water immediately; a written apology is optional, but strongly encouraged"

I thought you meant the part about not fishing with bread b/c found to be harmful. That is one the most poorly written piece of garbage lined with misinformation about fish. Even worse than all my typos on this site. This is just another reason to not live in NYC.

I think the "written apology" part was just another lame attempt at humor one of our Northern friends.......
Just do it...

A year or two ago I saw a turkey in central park with a bunch of pigeons. Kinda strange, along with everything else in the park.

Looks to me like the website was done tongue-in-cheek (is that a dumb saying or what, here is what wikipedia says about the phrase tongue in cheek.. "The origin of its usage comes from when Spanish minstrels would perform for various dukes in the 18th century; these dukes would silently chastise the silliness of the minstrel's performances by placing their tongue firmly to the side of their cheek." It still makes little to no sense). But I digress, I can't imagine anyone requiring a written apology for catching fish. Well unless of course they caught a Green Sunfish, then it seems perfectly reasonable.

Speaking of places to fish we have an interesting situation on a local lake I just found out about. It's private which I respect. However the lake association has it in their bylaws that only lake association members may fish it, and none of the lake association members can give permission to a friend or relative. It says the angler can be charged with felony trespassing even if he has permission from a property owner.
Sounds kind of extreme doesn't it? Or not?
The real kicker is the lake is having problems with their dam and they have been mandated by the state to fix it. Since it's private the state nor the public lake it runs into will help pay for the repairs.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Since it's private I say let them fix their own dam problems.

Since it's private I say let them fix their own dam problems. That's what a lot of people are saying. Some bald eagles mysteriously died in that lake and no one knows who killed them. Conjecture is someone on the lake knows. The running joke is even the bald eagles weren't allowed to fish.

A snippet from the column reads : When : Daily from 6:00 am to 1:00 am when the Park is open...... Are they serious - A person would have to have a death wish to be in a big city park at 1:00 am, irregardless of the fishing possibilities.
