Default Re: Passaic River Banks Private Property???

To that end I want to add that I know a guy who bought land in Lebanon, NJ that borders some river. It may be the South Branch of the Raritan.

The first year he owned the land, he showed up on the morning of the opening of trout season to find a dozen anglers lining the river pool on his propertry.

He told them that they were standing on his property and the anglers told him to go shit in a hat. They said they have fished that pool for decades without any problems and they could just stand in the river and not be on anybody's private property.

So, I'm going to guess that as long as your standing in or right next to the river's edge, you are not actually tresspassing.
