It’s high time anglers know just what their rights are concerning wa ters that are posted “no fißhing”. According to Renzo Dee Bowerp, a lawer with an interest in sportsmen’s problems, the over-all rules prescrib ing or limiting your rights are these: The exclusive privilege of fishing in non-navigable, or private streams and lakes, belongs to the owners of the land on both sides, and others cannot! fish there without the consent of these owners; but anybody is entitled to fish navigable, or public waters if he can get to them without going upon or across lands of others who do not permit his doing so. In other words, the right to fish by those who own lands on navigable or public wa ters or lakes or streams is not ex clusive. So when a landowner tries to chase a fisherman away from a promising fishing snot the major question is whether the waters are public (navi gable) or private (non-navigable) in nature. Courts have been ruling on this question for years. They have af firmed that a stream is navigable from a fisherman’s standpoint if it is floatable if used, or if it can be used, for driving logs or rafts, or paddling boats and canoes, running motorboats and the like. In recent years there has been an enlargement on the meaning of “nav igable”. Judges have said that any body of water is navigabl® and there fore available to any member of the public for fishing notwithstanding ob jections from bordering landowners* if it is beatable for hunting, fishing or pleasure. There’s a thread of warning for fishermen that runs all through the entire scope of these rights to fish navigable or public waters, even in states where the broadcast applica tion is given. It is this: In getting into or upon the waters you fish, you have not the slightest privilege or au thority to step, stand or walk upon or across any part of the land border ing upon the stream or lake without permission of its owner. If you do, you risk prosecution or damage suit for trespassing. The question logically arises as to how one wanting to fish public wa ters can step gingerly enough to avoid commiting an act of trespass. It can be done. It is being done— THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. O, THPRHDAT SEPTEMBER 24, 1953, times without number. You may have to enter or leave the stream only where it touches a highway or other public property. In many locations you can find an agreeable landown er at some point along the river or lake shore who will permit you to enter the water from there. Once in, either afleat or wading, you are entitled to fish anywhere in the rivei or lake. F. F. Tanner Is Sent To Charles City, Va. Edenton friends will be delighted to learn that P. F.
