River Fishing

[King Midas]

Hey guys,

I have a river fishing question that I really cant seem to find one answer to. I have a spot on a smaller tributary a couple hundred meters just off a major river that I was hoping to fish in the next couple days. Problem is that only the major river is currently open . So my question is: how far from the mouth (confluence) between the main river and this tributary is legally still considered the main river? I've been told numbers like 25 meters, 100 meters and 500 meters, so whats true? Might have to give F&W a call monday.

Thanks in advance!

I was told a few years back by F&W if I was not fishing across the mouth I was okay.

Common sense says you have to be standing or fishing from the major river.
