I am just curious about the common feelings around stream fishing in your area. Here in the part of Illinois where I am you risk going to jail for trespassing. It's mostly farm land with narrow wooded areas along the creeks and streams. Sometimes when in the water and always when on the bank you are on private property. I completely understand the rule of asking permission from the owner. The problem with that is a lot of times the owner does not live anywhere close to even know who it is. There are varied opinions around here on whether it's legal as long as your in the water and others say that the land owner owns both sides of the creek so they own the creek too.
What is the common feeling in your area?
