There's always a group of low class hooligans that leave their beer cans laying around, leave gates open, and even vandalize the property. These people ruin it for everyone. I think the way to take care of the problem is to impose stiff fines and penalties that are paid directly to the land owner on top of state fees; including cash payments and set periods for labor to be delegated by the landowner for serious offenders that trash, burn, or vandalize property.
I personally feel that there should be points of access set every half mile or so to public waters because I don't like paying for a license to maintain fisheries I can't utilize while people who can afford land monopolize them. I also think that if you are walking the bank, even if you get a ways from the water because you are looking for a better route to another part of a stream, the landowners shouldn't bellyache about this water line crap because it isn't that painful to share a foot trail.
This place is filling up with all of these people moving in and, eventually, I don't think we'll have anything left but memories of our honey holes if this bill is passed. For crying out loud, there are new housing editions on Utah Lake, the perfect example of an urban fishery, where they are buying up the land and denying access to anyone who doesn't live in their little communities. What's really stupid is that alot of these people aren't into boating or fishing so they aren't utilizing the honey holes they're denying to everone else. Makes me mad.[mad]
