Oak Orchard Access

Why would they reach an agreement on property that wasn't his? They couldn't have been wrong the whole time and been telling people to trespass on private property. County attornies are infailable like the pope and like GOD their word is the final authority and can't be changed.
Good for all if it is now legally taken care of.

Heard a bunch of 'nooks were rolling at the pierheads on Wednesday am.  Verification???????

And taken care of as it should have been from the start KD. The BS from the county attorny made a huge mess even bigger. Now 3 years later we get the same ending we could have had back then without all the basd blood created along the way. Kind of reminds me of the end of the Viet Nam war. Waste years and 1000s of lives needlessly and end up with the same results anyways.
I personaly fish there once every couple of years but I'm glad the county finally came to their senses.

Isn't that the way it goes this time of year.  The inversion that occurred the last week in August definately brought salmonids closer to shore, and from past experience, you could see tons of rollers at dawn, and nothing an hour later.  Suffice to say that with inshore temps back to 66, it will take a cool off or another strong south wind to bring then in close again.
 
As to the Oak access, I can think of at least two people who are probably not happy, and for pursuing what probably appeared to them to be a legitimate business opportunity, especially in light of pay to fish operations and private club waters on other quasi-public waters in NY.  Now if we could only get Oswego County to go after public access to the Salmon River.  $30/day for  14 hours 5 months of the year isn't public access.

waDer,
 
I am just saying that being in the right is not always enough. Lawyers, and their clients have to consider more than just the strength of their case, and that of their opponent. One is the financial resources of each, to endure a lenghty, and costly process. Another is the mindset of the community, and potential judges, and jurors. I think that there is increasing pressure on judges, and a more protective attitude among jurors to lean toward the landowner in property rights cases. Remember that these folks are far more likely to be landowners, than anglers. A resolution that serves the interests of both parties, can't be ALL bad.

WB-

Decades ago these creeks were conduits for S**t flowing from towns, farms, hamlets and industries (maybe they still are!! Read young guru on the WNY Board, he's seen his share of toxic waste!).  

Spoon,
Get used to it!! It's called the New Fuedalism!! Properties in the ADK that were 200k three years ago sell over a million today.  Wait until you feel the pain of all that social security you've paid into going away!!!
