I have had a few discussion with him about getting to the fish in water that is on private ground.... something about carrying some heavy duty wire cutters to cut the field wire that the farmers would put up to gain access with his boats. Not something I would want to do, but he said it was on the pretense to prove that the water was navigable and then that way it was proff that it was illegal for the farmer to fence or block access. Law supposedly is that they can not fence off access to the river. Essentially that was some of the reason to build fishing boats that can run the rapids.
