California Penal Code, section 12025 prohibits carrying concealed firearms in California, however, section 12027 provides the following exemption to this prohibition:

“Licensed hunters or fishermen carrying pistols, revolvers or other firearms capable of being concealed upon the person while engaged in hunting or fishing, or transporting those firearms unloaded when going to or returning from the hunting or fishing expedition.”

Remember that some areas that allow fishing, such as state and national parks, and some incorporated areas where fishing is allowed prohibit the possession of any firearm. Make sure to check on the local laws where you plan to fish.

It’s been years but if I remember. It had to be an area that allowed shooting if you wanted to carry loaded concealed on person while hunting or fishing.

PC 12025 no longer exists - it was renumbered in the re-org of the Dangerous Weapons Control Law in 2012. I think you will find it useful to refer to the new code numbering at Code Search

That exemption from unlicensed concealed carry is PC 25640 now, and related is PC 26366

26366. ​

Section 26350 [[ open carry of unloaded handgun as a crime ]] does not apply to, or affect, the open carrying of an unloaded handgun by a licensed hunter while engaged in hunting or while transporting that handgun when going to or returning from that hunting expedition.

I have heard so many different things about this. It’s best just to get a CCW. It’s better anyway because then you can carry when your not fishing as well
