Apparently the owners title goes to the 15 year high water mark...or 25 year...not sure. However, it still doesn't mean that anyone can walk up his river. He takes responsibility for it, if it is on his boundary, or runs through his land, and is within his legal rights to ask you to remove yourself if he wants to. Just like someone making a nuisance of themselves on the sidewalk of your house, you can have them removed. Just because you don't own the land, doesn't give anyone the right to treat it as public open space. If you are in the river running through a landowners property, and he asks you to leave, you must leave. If you don't, he has every right to evict you, as if you were on his land.

I have been K@K on by neighbors of fishing venues claiming that their property runs until the middle of the river because their land is classified as agricultural land. Is this correct??
