What the heck are smoking?

You just said; "We get to fish in your river, your welcome to fish in mine. Do you really believe you or I really "own" our own rivers?

That must be one of the main reasons why I have stuck my neck out locally and fought against the big property owners along the Cowlitz for Public access".

The fight for "Public Access" on the Cowlitz was for guys like you, not me! Hell most of the big land owners hate my guts for pushing that issue. No one owns our rivers; they belong to all of us. Some people just fight a hell of a lot harder then other to keep it that way!

I guess I could just jump into any of my boats and fish anywhere that I wanted to on the Cowlitz if I choose to do so. So what big gain was there in it for me to fight for public access for people who can't do that?
