New River Access Bill to be filed

[castnshoot]

The 6"X6' at high water is very generous indeed.

Somebody above said this is a " Federally accepted standard for navigability."

That standard may be "Federally accepted" but it is far from mandated.

Every state sets it's own definition of navigability on smaller flows of water that do not flow outside there borders. {per the tenth amendment}

In fact there are plenty of states that have there stream access laws set just the way Utah's law is now set.

Yes, those behind the law suit would be quick to take this 6X6 standard as written and passed law,,, or as a judges ruling.

Neither are likely to happen.

The most Utah anglers can hope for is that a small handful of rivers might be determined to be navigable {not the 6X6 standard} by the time all is said and done.

You are NOT going to be able to fish your way through somebody's farm yard just cause a piece of 6X6 can float through it for a couple of weeks at snow melt.

But... at the rate Californians are moving to Utah that could soon change along with a lot of other things!!
