fishing opens on mony inland streams fishermen must be careful whose back forty they ore on while fish ing for trout Our new Tres pass to Properly Act for stiff penalties If fisher men arc charged ted of trespassing To many fishermen new legislation may unwelcome obstacle far continued enjoyment of many inland streams since it is that landowners have been provided with greater control of public access to their property Since the rights of landown era to control access to the recreational fishery on their properly has been reinforced by legislation It seems appropriate that fishermen begin understand and appreciate the attitudes of landowners toward the use of their properly Through this approach continued use of popular troul streams might be assured for many more seasons to the satisfaction of fishermen as well as land Research has shown that in central most rural land owners arc willing lo allow some degree of access to the fishery on their property altitudes toward sport fishing access vary widely but they been shown lo be related to the use that they make of their stream bank properly place of work and whether they were raised in cities or rural areas Reasons why these factors arc related to the attitudes of landowners ire under investigation and may provldt answers to solve many access problems in frequently f portions of There is also ongoing research into the behavior of people using privatelyowned property for outdoor recreo tlon Information obtained from this research con provide some insight Into why landowners hold varied attitudes and react way they do to Irresponsible and often destructive activity For example littering Is frequently used to explain Ihe reactions of landowners who prohibit access to heir property However many landowners are more concerned about the destine lion or vegetation causing erosion of banks and general environmental degradation Some landowners complain of threats and actual physic al abuse by trespassing fishermen many have had personal property stolen or damaged It seems reasonable to expect that fishing opportunities can be Increased or improved if the behavior of many fishermen is modified to the on of landowners Considering the reported abuses and Intrusions on he rights and lifestyles of many rural landowners its not surprising that the new Trespass to Property Act has apparently been widely accepted by them However legislation In itself will not resolve the access problem for many landowners as well as for fishermen since ft serves only to regulate the use of private property and is based upon the concept of resolution through tali on Perhaps It a time hat both users and owners recognize the value and importance of the recreational fishery and treat it with the respect It deserves It so a crucial first step to achieve this end would be for fishermen to understand why landowners have the they do toward fishing access and show some responsibility and respect toward the use of privately owned property thereby reducing possibility for confrontation This spring perhaps fishermen could begin by getting to know Ihe person whose back forty they enjoy flBhlng on by asking permission to use the stream rather than risking an through the law Research shows that llie chances are good permission will be granted JANUARY 50 OFF Selected high quality toys games puzzles etc 50
