Private Water on the Snake River?

[Huntsy7]

This is a little frustrating though that local courts can defy state laws and regulations. Everything I read on "official state government websites". tells me that if I can navigate the water with my boat un-inhibited and it is part of the natural flood plain of the river it is public Water. The land under the water may not be but Idahoans have a rightful claim to all our natural resources which absolutely includes our waterways and the fish that reside in them. I guess I need to understand the history behind that development and if is a man made or natural water way because if it is a natural slough that developed organically over time then they shouldn't have a foot to stand on in court according to Idaho state laws? I am not one to make ignorant decisions so I will do more research. I know how corrupt politics and good ol boys clubs function and that yes money talks but that doesn't make it right. I will do some more research and post what I find. This is an important topic if this is truly what it seems and we really should work to right this wrong or its a matter of time before it snowballs up and down the snake river valley on every inlet creek and slough that "big money" thinks they should have exclusive rights to. Thanks again for your input and information.
