You have to see it from the home owners view too, probably a bunch of people trespass and litter that spot. Sometimes you precursor your child with a disciplinary statement before they go out at night, with the gf etc. that home owner was doing the same. Laying down some anger in hopes to drive respect for his land. Not the correct way of doing it but I get it.

You made it look so easy. Made me almost want to go down there and give it another shot. I used to come down from MN mostly in the Fall and fish the Root and Pike mostly in the late 90's and early '00's. Came down once or twice in the Spring and never had any luck. Haven't fished salmon or trout in years.

[@matthewpackard5413]

Wow wonderful video. Seems like a wonderful fishery you have there. That little creek reminds me of the creek I had in the back yard growing up. Every spring huge browns would swim up river to spawn and it would also be a beat down.

[@dilligaf0220]

In WI is it keeping your feet physically in the water, or is it staying below the high water mark? Man flashbacks fishing in Ontario. Steelhead fishing & motorcycles just seem to trigger some people over the edge.

[@ScottBlumreich]

Feet wet. Members of the public may use any exposed shore area of a stream without the permission of the riparian (i.e., landowner) only if it is necessary to exit the body of water to bypass an obstruction.

[@Aydin.Ozkaptan]

Hey Eric! I was just wondering what to look for when fishing the pike because the first time I went, there were no fish! Is it because that creek needs a good rain to raise the water level by the beach?

[@rickiex]

in retrospect, i really do think states should make 15 foot of land both sides of the river a special public access land where people can walk through. some rivers have massive sand hills which makes it impossible to even keep your feet wet

[@johnwoods1688]

As long as you are below high water mark you do not.

[@ChandlerNoll]

Also I've personally dealt with Karens like that, its ridiculous when people think they own the river. I had this crazy lady come down to the hole i was fishing and say her dogs might come down and ones not nice... I told her her dog might not make it if I get attacked because I'm well below the high water mark and she insisted she owned up into the bushes 10' above the high water mark... I just shook my head and kept fishin

[@ScottBlumreich]

I've dealt with PITA landowners as well but the high water mark rule ended in 2001. Got to keep your feet wet except the shortest path to go around obstructions. Cellphones are great for Karens and Bobs who like to harass anglers.

[@ChandlerNoll]

@@ScottBlumreich The rules might be different over there but here in WA no one owns the riverbank where the river flows when it rains.

[@ScottBlumreich]

@@ChandlerNoll Gotcha. I wish WI would go back to the high water mark rule. Makes it easier to cover more ground.

[@ChandlerNoll]

@@ScottBlumreich That and its kind of just nature's rule. No one should think they own the river's let alone have the law on their side.

[@thereelangle]

Great video Eric! Love those small stream steelhead! What GoPro are you using? TIA.

[@codybertram6122]

You get halfway up the shore for the flood line. Boots in the water don’t mean spit. Id wait till it floods then stomp all over his land. I hate people that buy property like that then think they own part of the river. I would’ve turned this video in to the DNR and showed them this is absolute fisher/hunter harassment. PSA don’t buy land with public access or water and expect people to obey your stupid boundaries.

[@codybertram6122]

Same people like that I’ve seen make artificial changes to waterways like rock dams, illegal dumping, fences. You call the DNR on them and all they say most of the time is “well unfortunately”. Absolute bull spit. The tourists and guides fishing around there bring more tax revenue in than their stupid property tax ever will. Fight the good fight for hunters and gatherers.

Legal access is Inside the ordinary high water mark on all navigable waters here in WI. Most creeks and rivers have a very defined bank edge and are navigable...stay below that bank and tell the landowner you will call the warden for him, in reference to State Statute 29.083 regarding harassment of legal hunting, fishing and trapping activities.
