Do you need a permit to fish at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park?

Could not find anything about this on the web, or anything else on permits. Besides http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/sportfishingfaqs.html. This was also asked on Quora

You are wise to seek the permit, because otherwise you are technically poaching, and it carries a hefty fine.

Honestly, your best option would be to contact them directly and ask. There is nothing on the web that is specific towards permits, or anything else regarding actually fishing in Stow Lake.

Main Administrative Offices: Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding legal holidays
