In today's Seattle Times front page is a picture of a salmon angler on the Quilcene river. And the caption talks about a landowner stretching a rope with "no trepassing" signs on it from one side to the other. My question is, can a landowner do this?? I know they can own the shoreline but can they prohibit anglers from wading in the river itself? The landowner is charging $10 for access. I don't fish that river or live near it but it sure seemed not right. I do fish on the Sky and there is private land that I walk by as I walk in the river. Am I trepassing?
