Who Owns the River, with Beau Beasley
Update: 2024-09-16
Description
Who owns the banks of a river? Who owns the bottom? Who owns the water that flows through a channel? And what defines whether a river is navigable or not? There are often no easy answer to theses questions, and much of it is determined on a state-by-state basis. Beau Beasley [35:27 ] has spent years looking at specific cases of access controversies, and some of you may not like what he says because he often comes down on the side of a landowner who prohibits access to a piece of river. But Beau looks at the facts and the law and approaches these issues in an objective manner. It's a fascinating discussion.
In the Fly Box this week, we have some comments, a bunch of tips, and some tricky questions, including:
- Will I find steelhead in the same places I find resident rainbows?
- How much time do you spend swinging a run for steelhead before moving on?
- A listener makes a case for the positive cost/benefit ratio of fishing with a guide.
- How much can a fly rod bend before breaking?
- Do trout seem to have an affinity for one color of nymph over another?
- How long does a frightened fish stay spooked? And do hatchery fish differ from wild fish in this respect?
- If you use a barbless hook on a two nymph rig and attach the bottom fly to the bend, how do you alleviate the problem of losing the lower fly and tippet?
- Do you fish a streamer in the same way you would fish a spinning lure?
- How can I get smaller nymphs down into very deep, fast pockets in a river?
- What would I consider the best roll-casting rod Orvis makes?
- Do you have any tricks for hooking fish on a direct downstream presentation?
