Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Rapidan or Mossy?

In March, the court did rule in favor of the landowner on the issue of wading - fishing, I don't know, but that ruling is enough to deter me. Another thing to note is that while the area covered in the land grant is not growing, the number of landowners who can make the claim is, as some of that property is developed and sold piecemeal. That could mean that while a landowner had a claim and previously chose not to enforce it, the new owners on the same sections can still make the claim, or at least that's what happened in the event that spurred the big controversy. All of that said, it is incredibly easy to avoid the off-limits sections and as many times as I have fished the Jackson, I've never found myself hard-pressed to find trout on the public sections. Indeed, every time I get to a sign on the bank, I am on that "one last cast, then I'm heading back in... well, one more cast" stage of the day. Plenty of trout and plenty of water to go around. 

Jeff, I can't remember the guy's name, but I worked at/hung out in whitewater shop, and he was pretty well-known for doing that stuff. It was generally known that he was all show and apparently had some sort of distant familial relation to the county sheriff. Every once in a while you'd hear of someone showing up at the take out with a deputy waiting for them telling them they'd get in trouble one day if they kept running it. Realistically, he probably had a more valid claim considering Bottom is probably not really classified as navigable.
