Good point, jcb.

I am planning on wading an area I waded last year, and I talked to the property owner everyday from the river. He was on his back deck. I think if he had a problem with me being there, he would have said something, but it was friendly communication.

I'll just make sure this time.

Only problem I have ever had wading was in Michigan, fishing for salmon. I knew I had to stay in the river, but I leaned against the bank while standing in 3 ft of water. Owner came out and told me not to lean against his property, and made sure I saw his pistol in his holster.
