This very thing happened about 7 or 8 years ago during ice fishing season. Went all the way to the state court which ruled that since the water in the said area is diverted from the river and therefore can not be said to be separate from the river itself it follows under the Idaho states right of way laws. Since that time I've fished it multiple times in the summers, a few in the winter and I have had some ok fishing and some stellar fishing there (any that know about the background of this story should recognize my posts fishing there). As for a BFT luncheon it would be difficult to do unless someone has a pontoon boat that a grill could be set up on to make lunch. If there is such a person I'd be happy to help organize the party! But without some kind of watercraft you'll be hard pressed to make lunch or fish the area. I'm still curious which homeowner it is though since I've met several of them over the years and they've all been pretty friendly with the exception of a few teens joyriding their small jazz boat near me while I'm fishing.
