This whole thing just makes me wish the public wasn't so loaded with property-abusing pigs that make landowners want to keep us out in the first place.

I've always believed in the public's right to access the banks of our waterways.........but at the same time, everything Rich said is right. If the public has access to it, it's gonna get abused.

Shoot, the WDFW can't even put garbage receptacles at public launches without them being being set on fire, smashed, or stolen.

It will be interesting to see what the high courts rule on these cases. The legal uncertainty certainly needs to be resolved.
