The river access is not closed off you can walk in and fish anywhere you want on GD's property or most anyway. It appears they chose to utilize a private property launch to generate a monetary return on property they owned due more to problems with the public use vehicle concept for property management. This outcome is very prevalent in most every place I have fished most certainly outside this state.

To put it simply when you put huge numbers of Rec fishers in any fishery without a plan to manage the traffic nothing good happens. Hunters have faced this for years and most states have adjusted but with fisheries in this state we continue to think you can pour in tourism driven fisheries without structure and it worked kinda for sometime. It is starting to not work now and in the future our present system will totally collapse as there are just way to many of us.
