On Saturday 16,2007. our local newspaper -The Daily News out of Huntingdon, Pa. reported the latest ruling by Judge Stewart Kurtz pertaining to the stream access law suit on the Little Juniata River. The head line read Judge doesn't change ruling in fishing case. The 1.3 mile section of the Little Juniata River is open to public fishing and recreation. People are fishing it.The following is a quote from the article in Saturdays paper. ( A finding of navigability means the submerged lands are owned by the commonwealth. Anglers then are permitted by the Fish & Boat Commission to walk the bank of the stream, between the high and low-water marks, as long as they gained access to the stream over public grounds or through private property with permission from the landowner.)

Thank God there is a judge with some sensibility.
I remember reading an article about a river up in New York where a land owner owned both sides of the river and posted it. He had people fined for trespassing on his property and they were wading. In New York the submerged land is the land owners the only way you can fish it is by boat and you can not anchor.
Hopefully this will stop all the crap in Erie with the steel head when they run up the streams.
