Sauk, you said it all. If people respected private property it would still be open to fishermen. Everyone says that its a few that ruin it for everyone. I think that it the other way around. I sat on a river this year with about 25 people fishing and could't belive the garbage that was tossed by the majorty of the people and never picked up. There are still some small rivers that have good fishing and no crowds. It would by nice to keep them that way, once the crowds come so does the garbage. G-spot my feilds are no different than your back yard, just because they are farther from my house than yours. Weve had people come deer hunting and shoot a cow. Any different than someone coming in and shooting your dog in your backyard? Like Sauk says its amazing how many people think they have the right to tresspass. There is a reason why there are no tresspassing signs up on most places, mostly because alot of people have ruined it for everyone.
