Piper, if you read goose's feeds he is correct concerning the natural resources page. Most small river's have not been designated one way or the other. I just happened to call to get some info on the Quil and was told by the 13th Dist. that it is not navagatible. In my opinion no one should own the water navagatible or not. We did fish that place on the Quil this year. We payed the money due to the fact that we had 4 little ones with us that did not have waders and were not into walking a long ways. It was ok for that purpose. I actually gave away a couple of fish and talked, for quite a while, to the guy who owns the land on the north side of that roped off area. Everyone here should know that this guy is all for people catching fish and told me he doesn't mind anyone fishing his land. The only problem is that I don't exactly know how to get to his land without crossing the pay area. But he did tell me that we were welcome to fish his property (about 2 miles worth or good water) any time. We always ended up fishing his land anyway. In my opinion, he has the better holes on his property. The guy actually lives up around Port Angeles somewhere. He says that he doesn't do much with the land other than take some logs every now and then. Its a great place to fish if I could only figure out how to get down to it without crossing the pay area. Hope that helps.
