An incredible opportunity and fishing

[Shawn Seeger]

Even though this would be a job, I am sure there would be down time to fish!!

Someone take it up and give the public access back to the lakes that are owned by the public.

Looks like quite a battle where unfortunately a few feet of lost wagon trail led to the public losing access to big money yet again

Yeah, the public acces BS is no good. That stuff gets me pretty angry.

 

[_WW_]

Let that motherfucker run it himself.

One more reason to hate the Rams...

 

[DimeBrite]

That's funny, Stan lets me fish there anytime I want.

I just watched Chan and some other guys fish some of those lakes on YouTube, that is why it is so interesting

I learned to fly fish on those lake. public access would be nice. There are public lakes in Washington that have no public accesses well.

If a person wants to keep his land to himself I get that. But why should he be allowed to sell access to a public resource (the wildlife). The advertising clearly makes that out to be the attraction.

Semi serious question: If I had a helicopter lower me down onto the lake along with a floatation device (pontoon preferable, but I'd settle for a float tube), am I technically legal to be there fishing since it's a public lake? I'd like to pull something like this off and this feels like a great spot to try something like that.

Here in Washington the timber companies are engaging in exactly the same thing. Access to the fishing and hunting by permit only.

Not sure the Canadian laws but there is a ONx video of elk hunting on a land locked public chunk through helicopter access.

It is very well done and the focus is more on the public land and less on hunting. We have so much public land locked that it is truely incredible. Something like 15.5 million acres.

Yep, that's exactly what got me thinking about this. Plus I think it would be fun to screw w/ the billionaire (in this particular instance).
Great video if anyone is interested.

Those rotors would play the heck with my fly line!

Don't the land owners own the airspace all the way to heaven thereby one would be Trespassing?

But not to Hell. You could tunnel in, and no one could do shit.

I’ll split it with you!
