It's amazing to me to see the "entitlement" that so many guys have on this issue.
Even a smart guy like Lonetree should have seen how poorly written that first bill/law was, in which it eventually got overturned.
I sure do hope this one does hold up and all the "entitled" idiots will stay off and out of peoples private property when trying to gain access to these waters.
I definitely agree the second and third sentences, people need to stay within the boundaries, respect privacy and absolutely never litter.
In my view, entitlement is when people buy land on a major river like the Weber, Provo, Bear or Green and think they can put a fence across the water. Even people who don't own land on those rivers are paying for you to have clean water flowing through your land. Creeks and streams are a different story entirely, I'm totally on board with those being owned solely by the land owner, but the big rivers in the state are public property.
And actually, the way this law is written, people won't even own the river from the high water mark down. End of argument, people wanted to fight over people walking on "their" land, now it's not even theirs. Looking forward to the same happening on the rest of the bigger rivers in the state.
