: I would say that's giving fishing a bad name. There are some places that are sacred and should be left alone. I would not want to be visiting a relatives grave and have an angler enjoying themselves there. It's private property for a reason.
==================
In defense of "huntsfish" not all cemetery ponds are off limits. Remember there were no 'no fishing' signs up. Resurection(sp) has two ponds and they don't mind any anglers being there. In fact some workers actually stock fish so people can enjoy themselves(at least they were stocking a few years ago). Why would you resent someone enjoying themselves in a cemetery. Does enjoying oneself degrade the respect for the deceased???? Heck my grandparents are buried by a river that has a fishing pier right at the cemetery. Grandma & Grandpa are probably enjoy watching the anglers from the Pearly Gates! My 2 cents....
