Rustic-Fisher Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Has anyone heard parts of this river may be reclassified as private ? Restricting boat traffic ( canoes, drift boats etc..). A few friends were telling me about it last night. We drift the river regularly and I'm hoping this is not the case . Plan on stopping by the Town offices toady.

BillM Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) They've heard wrong. There's only a very select few rivers in this province where landowners have streambed rights, the Notty isn't one of them and never will be.

BillM Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Just found where the info came from , was in our local paper yesterday. It doesn't include streambed rights Won't be different then drifting through any other private water on that river (which as you know there is a lot of) Edited March 28, 2014 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Even if there were streambead rights granted, could you not still float over the bed legally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Even if there were streambead rights granted, could you not still float over the bed legally? Absolutely, but there haven't been streambed rights granted since like 1904, lol. And now, if you happen to have streambed rights and you sell your property, those rights go back to the crown. The only river I know of that has any sort of streambed rights that I've fished is the Rocky Saugeen. Edited March 28, 2014 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustic-Fisher Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I keep hearing of a chainsaw lady lol . We've had zero issues on the biggy . Lucky I guess . Jump shooting ducks on the Notty is where we have the most issues . Birdshot coming my way ......... I'd lose my mind . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Maybe it,s the same lady that throws rocks at anglers. I heard she has called the OPP many times. She was charged and they ignore her calls now. Im looking forward to a float down the river this year. Just need to get a few guys together so we can have a drop off and pick up.

wallacio Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 We weren't actually shot at however this nut did fire off a shotgun into the air after we told him to leave us alone since we were not standing on his property. I placed a call to the Meaford OPP and they paid this clown a visit immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowSlayer101 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) lol, i let most of them go, but keep one to eat every ounce in a while, especially if they're from the g-bay tribs and are small, anyways, thats not the point, she had no right to be telling me what to do, i can keep a fish if i want, I'm under my possession limit and i don't keep rainbows all that often. I was just pi$$ed at the lady for telling me what to do, didn't care much for releasing the fish, i can get another if i want to.
