I know this topic has been brought up over and over again and I’m sure it will be discussed again. But I need some help in seeking the truth.
Where can a guy find, in text or in print, the law that states “ownership of land in which water flows over? I don’t know if that’s the right way to put it? So here’s my story.
I own a piece of land that a small creek flows through and have neighbors on either side of me that the creek flows over there land also.
We were discussing the fact that in my yard, there is a large deep pool cased by a waterfall that the fish hold in. We were talking about who has the right to fish there,
Now I really don’t care if the neighbors’ want to or not but I mentioned that if they were to get hurt or my dog bit them when there “I” would be responsible.
One of the guys tried to feed me a line about being able to walk the river bed and no one owns that. I told him that he needs to look in to that, as his dog loves to play in the creek and I would not want to see some stranger bit and him on the hook.
I know that the region that I live in has asked the land owners not to interfere with the creek bed in anyway and before I go and say something wrong. I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find it so they can read it for themselves.
