Leslie - Thank you for your perspective on the original post. Sorry people on the original post may have answered in ignorance. But many people, myself included, can at times turn into real morons with the anomymity of the internet and a keyboard.
However, you were wrong to call the police, unless Toadly and his friend were on dry land that is. Or you witnessed them standing or walking across dry land. The fact that "the public has an easment on the land which the stream flows over" grants them permission to walk up the high water mark of the river because that is public domain.
Sorry for the boneheads in the past, but if you see me fishing that area, I will be polite, and I will not leave so long as I am in the river. I also will not walk on your private land.
ifishutah your reply was totally bad form.
