Like I said, thank God I'm in Minnesota then because the water here is not owned by a land owner unless it's totally confined within your property. It's accessable by anyone who has connecting property, and since this one has public land attached, it's fair use. Now that is not saying you can touch the physical land attached too it, so if i were to trap for instance, I could not make pocket sets into their bank, but could on the public side.
You all have some seriously messed up laws in your states if you cannot access water that is attached to public land....
