RT I live on a north puget sound river and I don't have a problem with guys coming thru my place to fish PROVIDING they ask permission. I will not tolerate some yaahoo sneaking thru my prop. it makes me madder'n he.. to find someone doing that. A large percent of the people that have river front prop. i.e. homes on river probably will grant access to a polite individual. I always do. The only people that I've ever 86'd off my place were two young guys that I caught fishing in MY river pram!! Pretty ballsy I thought. The rest of the inconsiderate we're given a tongue lashing but were allowed to continue fishing with their promise to ask next time.
ASK-it can't hurt. Just my .02 worth
