That was where we parked. There were no signs or posts of any kind. I crossed no fences. There was no indication it was private property. When talking with the guy he said he was a family member of the owner. I asked him for permission but he said he hadn't permission to give permission. I then ask for the name and number of the owner so I could call and try to verify what he was telling me. This "family member" then said he didn't have the number. So at that point I thought he was some dude fishing the river who didn't want me there. He asked me to leave and I politely refuse so he called the Morgan Police. At that point I went down river of the camp ground and started fishing my way back.
Thats when we met up with the police officer. He took our numbers and told us the guys land ended at the camp ground and we could continue fishing.
Big hassle for only a few fish. Hope thats the last we hear of it, but the officer said we could be sumoned to court if the real owner wants to press charges.
It dissapoints me to find the rich can own our waters.
Our country has become a little less free with this new law.
