Gem lake harbor

If the waterway is deemed "private" would this not fall under the provisions of a private pond. According to Idaho Statute Title 36 Chapter 7 a permit is required to be obtained from the director of F & G and the point of diversion must be screened to keep the wild fish out.

So, if this is to remain a "private pond" and since it is not considered to be "navigable" I am sure there will be no problem with this property owner screening the points of diversion. Besides, if he wasn't hoarding any of my fish in his pond I wouldn't have any reason to want to go in there. Of course this will make it impossible for him to "navigate" his boat to his private dock.
