Sorry if I had stepped on any toes, but it was definitely not my intention. They way I see it, is that if land is not fenced, marked or posted, and I make a reasonable effort to contact the land owners for permission even thoughI all those other things were not on or near that property, miles apart from the other no trespassing signs, then I did my job and the water is fair game.
I had never had intentions to trespass, or I would have just done it flat out. The reservoir on the map has one main road in, but the land owners who have no contact info near their property have bought the land and posted it up to the dam. After the the dam it just becomes Damn near inaccessible. On both sides of the canyon. The roads where I found no trespassing were all leading up to actual property that they lived on or had livestock. I had never found a sign that said no trespassing or anything to tell me that the waters were closed after said properties.
I put the effort in to do what I thought was the right way of doing it.
Also the creek mentioned has a motorcycle trail running through it about 30 times for crossing it so you can ride along it up and down the canyon. If you wanna worry about the fish, close down that road or drag a few boulders in the way in the narrow sections to let only people and not bikes through.
I really do apologize to those who thought this thread more harmful than a story. Let's say after the next few posts and people can get a word in, we just delete the thread?
