Who is standing up for the shore fishermen. I have fished areas that would become iffy if this passed. How would you know for sure? Water level dependent?

The state just passed a bill that wants to reduce the number of so called “navigable waterways” and if the state engineer can’t justify keeping them then the automatically lose their title. Just another secret bill that was passed behind our backs. You can’t fish below the ordinary high water mark on those waterways but no fishing on land will be allowed on every other body of water unless you have permission to be on the unposted land. Huge impact to the devils lake region.If 2315 passes, there is no IF at all - shoreline would be off limits to anglers without express permission (think Devils Lake Coulees in spring). If you want to get into wade fishing and "navigable waterways" like is the case in many states...that might be a different story, but I'm not versed much in that side of the law here in ND.

hey - where's our resident 2315 supporter been?
busy helping in the SB sausage factory?
Sounds like the wildlife societies are commending senator eberle for the compromises between sportsmen and landowner groups? So are they giving up on fighting for fishing access rights?If 2315 passes, there is no IF at all - shoreline would be off limits to anglers without express permission (think Devils Lake Coulees in spring).

Daryl Leis of ND Farm Bureau is on 550 AM now talking about a “ND Lockout” where landowners are vowing to not allow anyone but family, friends and nonresident hunters on their land if SB2315 fails. He claimed over 1 million acres have been pledged to be closed to hunters via this and another (name or org I missed) “lockout”.
The proponents must be getting desperate! Wonder if Fritz has been out helping his buddy Daryl gather lockout pledges?
I would be willing to bet 95% of those joining a lockout have had their land posted tight for years. Meanwhile they enjoyed our support that good landowners earned, and bought larger mailboxes for all their gov checks.Daryl Leis of ND Farm Bureau is on 550 AM now talking about a “ND Lockout” where landowners are vowing to not allow anyone but family, friends and nonresident hunters on their land if SB2315 fails.
