Ray: Thanks for the info. Those looking to support the Public Land/Water Access Association should visit their Web site: http://www.plwa.org/

Bernard: I’m not sure I get the distinction – if organizations have to mount a legal challenge against all the illegally fenced in waters (at bridges), I’d assume they’d carry the day.

Although the court decision is precedent setting for other bridges, this decision ONLY includes the 2 bridges in the case. Bernard

The Public Land/Water Access Association (plwa.org) does much of the ‘heavy lifting’ when it comes to keeping Montana public land and water in public hands. Billionaire James Cox Kennedy has stated that he will spend his last dollar to overturn the Montana Stream Access Law. PLWA is a typically impoverished grassroots organization up against mega bucks but, with your support, we will prevail because we have right, and as a result of this case, the law, on our side.

Taku: A “I do this for a living, so I’m entitled to the river” moment, eh?

Thanks God for those souls who wrote the 1972 Montana Constitution. And for those who continue the fight to protect our access. Now for the local guide who used some rather unpleasant profanities towards my wife and I on the local float last Friday, I say it’s time to move to a state where you don’t have to deal with the “damn public” ruining his fishing.
