G-Spot,

Let me know if I have this straight.

You want the landowner who pays all of the land tax on a waterway to spend his money to build you a gate so you can have free access to his land.
You would also like that landowner to install some garbage cans on his dime so the freeloaders will have a place to dump their garbage.
You would also like this same landowner to maintain the garbage cans since they are on his land, and no one else is going to, in other words spend his time and money to remove the refuse you dump in the can he provided.

Wow.

I don't see how you can even begin to justify this. Using this same philosophy, anyone that borders public land must provide you access and garbage service.

You have access to the water through public locations on most all waterways/lakes. You can boat to the majority of the fishing areas. The ones you can't, thats good. Fisherman shouldn't have access to very single inch of water, the fish need a place to live, breed, and rest.

Thank god for private ownership. I strongly believe it makes our rivers a better place with more fish in them.
