Howdy fella's.

This was a hot topic on the WAflyfishers forum for quite some time. Here is the situation as I understand it.

The DNR owns land close to the lake but it can't be reached without passing through private property. The homeowners used to allow access and/or a right away was available to the DNR land but that was lost within the last year or two. As a result, all of the land around the lake is private property.

One of the WAflyfishers list members contacted an attorney friend and looked into what action can be taken but it looks grim at this time. Several list members were looking into utilizing the local fly clubs to lobby for a right of way passage into it but I think the effort has stalled out.

As of this time, your best bet is to buddy up with a land owner to gain access. I know it stinks but that is the way this one worked out. Now if anyone has access to a helicopter, call me. My float tube and I won't take up much room [email]null[/email]
