I understand that liability is a problem.

On the other hand, you are telling me that if I want access to the shore of a river that I should go buy land on it - that's ridiculous. I don't want to have to stand on the same 100 ft. stretch of river every time I go fishing.

I think that the shore of rivers and lakes should not be privatized and blocked off in a developed and civilized society... access should be ensured to the responsible public.
