Permission from the upstream property owner would allow you to access the bank if the above survey holds true... Drift boat anchoring would be the easiest option though. If they do not own under the river channel as shown in most of the waterfront, one "should be able to anchor along shore and get out and walk as long as they don't cross the boundary line... Again, this is just assumption on my part but it makes sense to me based on what I've seen and know when it comes to pfr, pfa, and river rights

Two Bob, tug edge moved in to big Al's... Lawn and tractor equipment

fichy
Unfortunately, that piece that juts out into the river is the tail of the barrel and the best bank holes in that stretch. I have trouble remembering my name, but will remember a hole within a hole in a spot I haven't fished for 10 years. You can easily wade around the fence to go further down the bank below the bridge, but I suspect you will be quickly in a fight with custodial forces.  Since some of the best  steelhead guides (at least from what I hear and have seen) fish  in that  jutting out area  in the early morning with excellent success, I imagine it'll get heated if the privateers decide they're getting boarded. Since the bank rights begin again below, somewhere in Schoolhouse, my question is how do you access it without crossing from the north bank?  I'm not asking an idle question- I really would like to know. PM's are fine, if someone feels its a spot burner.  I've had some great days jumping off the ice  shelf and fishing froggy edges, would like to still have that option.

I have made the walk from the trestle to the school house and vice versa many times. Some times in deep snow it can be quite the chore

Too bad some enterprising soul cant take a hike back there and see the survey lines that were surely done prior to any purchase- if they haven't been removed.
 A point of interest though is that the photo is taken from an angle and many tall trees may look like the waters edge but the actual edge is closer to the water that it may appear.
 Seems like enough distance though that the line is NOT in the water- IMHO- in many places. When looking at the photo from above on my place not too far from there the same   thing happens with by farther line and tree height.
 There is a real estate site that shows survey lines very accurately throughout the area when getting the proper height on the satellite photos-at least mine and my neighbors are exact and right to the trees where the survey tape is located. ya gotta zoom in  and out a bit to get it to show- darned if I can find it tonight but when I do will post it up.

I actually posted that exact picture on their Facebook page and asked if the lines were accurate and if you already do not know I received no reply.  Whenever anyone asks in a nice way or not so nice way there is no reply to any sort of question related to the property line .  They did reply once that at "this" time they were going to allow boats to anchor. 
 

They have to allow them to anchor if they don't own the rocks underneath. Someone obviously didn't do their homework before buying the place if they thought they had 100% private fishing rights... Private access YES... There's nothing that should or could stop an angler from getting out and remaining in the water either

L that is my job when guiding Charlie outside the Zones.
 

Thanks Charlie and your right even the bad days were top notch in my book.  I had not thought about those.  I did fabricate a decent walking stick, but more for defense as the # of foxes and dogs I see are increasing with distance.  I have an apt next week and hoping to add some gentle stretching to the neck as well as some strengthening to the arm and shoulder.  

Just what I was thinking, BB. I might give that a try and let you know how it works. I was curious if anyone, especially you, had done it already. I can do without that spot until cold weather sets in,  I think the guests won't be out there then, anyway. If you have to have that much luxury accommodations on a fishing trip, you probably aren't going to put up with much discomfort; like walking through snow and having cold hands.
Not to say there won't be an increase in the propane powered drift boat traffic....
That long walk HT mentioned would never get me there. I'd stop many times along the way. I'll certainly try it though.

You can get through there from the powerlines.
Parking might be an issue though.
I have fished it from the trestle to school and vise versa but always walked back via the road which you cant do now.It's really not that far, no Furthur then going to the secret spot.
I will most likely just write the south bank off and if I decide to fish that area just do it from the north
Edit: if it is low water ,335 you can cross from the north to the south just above the barrel if you really wanted too. Have done that as well

During that tourney my dad knew Nothing about salmon fishing .  We were using worms.  I caught a large shiner or sucker and won second place

Tough crowd.   I do remember the prize was a Zebco 202 or 404  or something

hot tuna
Just an FYI:
I have seen a 16' fish rite high side drift boat in decent condition for sale in Altmar for $2,500..
That would put you in any spot on the river besides the zones, yes even in dsr as long as you don't anchor

I am in the market for a drift boat.  I'd love to see a picture....

Tuna, driftboats would definitely benefit from the shore accesd more so than bank anglers for sure

Just a late night thoughtless..
We are discussing a lost 1/2 river bank of very small piece of real estate to a well known area (in my 35 years) Right or Left .. Yes it is a proven winter holding grounds, yes it is (was, left  ) an easily accessed area.. 
Question:
Will that deter anyone from fishing the SR ?
Does one think that area is any less productive or pressured then the Free . year round zones ?
Are there less fish or the experience any less below say, the school or wires ?
hmmmmmm
 
 
 

       Sometimes  wonder about the more popular and often easier access areas being described as the best and getting heavily pounded. Below the School and  the Ellis area is pounded in late season but a lower walk gives one prime water and usually very little competition. Holes for Winter lies abound in the river.
     Will agree though  that if one knows a small hole that few fish up there it can be gang busters year in and year out.
         Lately am a bit limited to long winter snowy walks so  those easy areas become more attractive - but a longer hike is sometimes  the best IMHO , even much lower.
 Heck, DSR reports fish most all winter so they aren't just up top- yes heavier populated up there as they tend to stack but occasional  walks with little snow down to lower areas have produced some great trips  in the past.
 Not so many fish lower, but great trips are subjective- lol-generally  not much competition down there either.
   Tuna, you mentioned an area the other day that I like to go to late season and mentioned its difficulty in snow- my last deep snow walk in there was just that- the last- got badly winded and stuck in deep snow as the crust gave way, with COPD and Asthma that aint fun actually alone and in trouble it was a bit scarey, took a few difficult  hours to get out. As the crust thaws and ya bust through every other step its a new ballgame getting out compared to getting in some times.
     Still get in there when conditions are better though and kinda keep it quiet lol.
Fish that aren't pounded every day ( cept by boats) all Winter  seem  different.
Think those  guys ya see carrying snow shoes on their back pack know the deal.
