Dear Grizzly Wulff,

I've spent enough time fishing out West to know that I get really mad when I see cattle wallowing in a stream that I own and a gate across the lane that denies me access to my property. I guess that is the price we pay for cheap beef.

It's different in Pennsylvania, which is the home state of both Little Juniata and myself.

In PA trout fishing is often done over stocked fish. If the water is approved trout water and it is stocked it is because the landowner's along the stream have already agreed to open it to fishing. If they hadn't, or if they change their minds, then the stream is no longer stocked. It's not rocket science.

Regards,
Tim Murphy
