Hi Nathan :
Can you site the specific case and river? I live close to one of the countries best salmon and steelhead rivers.I am rarely on the river but a 4-5 times per year for whitewater rafting or fishing but I do not think this case involves the river I receate on becaue it would be covered in my local news. I have a friend who fly fishes like an artist. It is beautiful to watch. As much as I love the great salmon fishing 10 minutes from my house I most enjoy preparing it and eating it! LOL
I am not sure of the individual home owner but I think you would find that within any state there are individuals who are extremists for one cause or another. I am not speaking of this case because I do not know anything about it or the circumstance. The details of this are essential before critisizing Oregon Law or the circumstances.
Could you site some research and a source so we could all discuss this intelligently? I want to give you credit for a great discussion topic. I hope this of sincere interest to you and not just a bait and bash Oregon and Sam thread

. Thank you Nathan for all your interst in Oregon. I think the last few threads on Oregon were started by you!
