Welcome yaker
In the state of washington you only own to the high water mark. So if you stayed in your boat you could hunt without asking. You might want to check with your local fish and game and they should beable to tell you for sure.
CALL EM IN CLOSE AND SHOOT THEM IN THE EYES

I dont know about in Ohio but in Kansas there are only two rivers on which hunting without permission from the land owner is allowed those are the Kansas River and the Arkansas River + the Missouri River..All of these rivers are public land up to the Normal high water line...Check your state usally the only rivers that are legal fro that are the big navigatible rivers...

there was a pretty good discussion about this about a year ago, on refugeforums.com. and i'm also pretty sure that the original poster was from ohio. you should check out the archives.
btw, i don't think that any part of you or your equipment can touch the bed of the river. that would be considered trespassing (but i might be wrong), you have to stay completely within your boat, and your boat/paddle can't touch the riverbed. but i could be wrong.

In Maryland on the small inland waterways the water belongs to the state but the land under it is privately owned. You can hunt from a boat but nothing can touch the bottom including the anchor.

I THINK here in Nebraska if the landowner gets water rights he has control of it but otherwise you can do whatever you want on the river since the state has control of what goes on with it.

In Wisconsin it is the highwater mark unless it is a private pond or lake. I went through this last year on a slough i was hunting and the landowner called the county cop,the cop then called the DNR and they stated that I was allowed to hunt up to the highwater mark, and was also able to get out of my skiff so long as I didn't tread above the highwater mark. This also applies to trout fishing .
