Like Bass said, we have all been stolen from and vandalized. There is no escaping "those people". I feel for you as I do the guy on here who had his boat trailer and motor stolen right out of his driveway.
What we need is to break down the barriers with affected land owners and really work to turn in all the scumbags on privite and public land all the time.
As ar as I understand it, what this ruling does is to allow a person to enter the river at a public access point, they may float, fish, hunt, wade or swim in order to use a public waterway for recreation. The act of touching the bottom of the waterway with a vessel, paddle or person is incidental to the recreational use and is there also allowed.If they encounter an obstruction, they may enter the land to go around the obstruction in a manner that has the least impact on the owners use.
This most likely will not effect headwaters on private land any farther upstream than could be walked from the Public access point closest to the property.
