They have had similar issues out West, where I am from. They finally passed a law that stated if you can access the water either through public land or through permission from a land owner, than once on the water or along its bank line (anywhere the water has once been), then you were not trespassing. This has allowed people to access water and go miles up into once private fishing areas. Needless to say, big fish are being caught that had never seen a lure before.

I say no one should own water, fish, or land under water. IMO. Did they own that water before it fell from the sky? Sure they may say they own the land under the water, but hey, my boat isn't touching that land.

Fish on!
