I understand the rules regarding LEOs, traffic stops and CHL holders. What are the requirements for encounters with Game Wardens? Say you're checked on the water while fishing, or returning to your vehicle from hunting? It's probably a good idea to disclose your CHL, but is it required?

Yes, If asked for ID, show CHL and declare.

GC §411.205. If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.
Game wardens are one of the dozens of categories of peace officer defined in Texas law.
