An incredible opportunity and fishing

[Snopro]

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

No.

 

[_WW_]

I’ll split it with you!

I'm in too! Three would make it a crowd of anglers. Operation Skyfly.

In the olden days yes (13th century Europe), not so much now.

Now, air rights are generally only to the extent that something in the air disrupts the use, and in some instances the enjoyment, of the land under the air - flyovers, no problem, if you hover, then you do run a risk of a trespassing fine; so just don't stop in the air and gawk, take pictures etc.

This article is a bit dated, but I’ve seen a discussed a number of times recently due to the crazy housing market and people wanting to protect their views. In many cases, they buy the air rights to their neighbors property rather than buying the property like the couple did in this article.

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.

Fired up and ready for you.

“We just did some view rights over in Clyde Hill and we were able to determine the view was worth $600,000 -- not the land, just the right for the guy behind him to look over and have his view,” said Hagar.

Holy shit. People are spending $600K on air.....
Let that sink in.

This has been going on in NYC for a long time. It's insane.

And is he willing to run an operation similar to this?

Join BHA, and we do have a chapter in BC fighting this shit...

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.

Those checkerboard pieces in the west are particularly awful. They essentially privatize public land. The corner crossing debate makes this all even more difficult.

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

Yup. They certainly do. The passes are increasingly difficult to get on their own.

That is unfortunate and I’m not a fan, but in their defense can you blame them?
People dumping shit all over the place on their properties because they are too lazy to take it somewhere for proper disposal.
This state has become a littered up dump. It’s really sad to see.
There are other problems as well that they encounter but I’d have to think illegal dumping is at the top of the pile.

These are all real things.

I do think that if you are able to utilize open space taxation, access should be a requirement.

They really need to create a law that gives the public a right of access to reach these locked public lands. I agree, landowners have now virtually privatized these public lands as their own public playgrounds at tax payer's expense. What's the sense of having public lands if general public isn't able to enjoy them. Public lands were created for the use of the general public but that doesn't appear to happening here and needs to be looked at with having it changed. At least the timber companies are allowing fishing and hunting by permit only mainly to control littering and abuse..

I tend to think they now worry more about somebody burning their future profits up. But having to deal with all the dumped garbage was doing the same thing, I suppose.

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.

Great Video. Great discussion around public access to land lock public lands.

Curious how much more $$$ it cost the hunter to haul that elk out with the copter? .

Provide easements across private land for the general public use. Beach front property in Hawaii has to allow public access. Of course many try to make it as difficult or as limited as possible, but in theory no one owns a beach in Hawaii. Bezos and Zuckerberg think they do.
