In some other states the property owners have control of the botton for x number of feet, sometimes as far as the center of the river botton.

There has been a problem for many years on most waters regarding denieing the public access to the public waters. What is new about this?

In Oregon the courts have sided with the land owners. See Jan issue of Fly Fisherman magazine in both the editorial and several articles
