Cowlitzfisherman: All right Dude! Chalk one up for the little guy! I must congratulate you on your knowledge of the lay of the land as it applies in this case. I would have just loved to have seen the look on Wallace's face when the sherrif told him that he could no longer keep fishermen from going through his gravel pit. However, I do not think that this will be the end of it. The wallace family is rather wealthy and I'm sure that if they want to keep fishermen from accessing the river by means of said easement, they will try to find a way to fight it. Just the same, I'm glad to see somebody arch their back and stand up for their right to access public property. Keep it up! By the way, did you catch any thing?
