There's the maps.  If it does not have an easement, it's fair game.  But some of the water below 2a already has easements, so they can buy it all they want but it remains public fishing, as the easements are permanent.  But a lot of it was already posted and private for a while now, didn't some of it belong to the Native Americans from Verona.  It is also my recollection that some of the left bank below 2a was under easement on the older maps, and it is not showing on the ones on the website now, so maybe someone contested an easement in court and won.

Good question for the State of the Salmon River meeting on April 11 (Thursday night) at 6:30 PM at the Pulaski High School, DEC said they are exploring options for add'l access at the SOL meeting on Monday. 

While we're on access,. buyer's of Spyder Rybak's book on the river should be aware that he has a ton of mis- or bad information on what is and isn't public and private on the river.  You could end up with a heavy fine following all his advise.  And he is still saying that the river goes up during the day and down at night, so maybe he wrote the book 25 years ago, and didn't bother to update a lot.  He also says you can fish from a non anchored boat while floating through DSR, and I'm sure that will get you a ticket, the judge ruled that due to the details of Sr. Barcley's deed, the riparian rights in that section include fishing and belong to him.

Yes Tuna the property rumored sold is from the compactor to around trooper.
The pfr on the map lucky posted shows river right access from 2A down to the railroad after that who knows.
 

A guy from Maine claims to have talked to a TW representative.
He was told there is nothing finalized but they are in discussions.
 
I doubt the King's grant is in play.
So we may all need to buy boats and find someone to row us around soon.
 

Sounds like a great plan but I'm stuck in the 35 buck a night range.

And on the left side below 2A,  we had multiple discussions about DEC public access signs on one side and some development companies posted signs on the other, despite those maps showing left bank access down to the island, which is not shown on the maps on the website now.  This worries me a lot because everyone from DEC has been saying all the easements are perpetual.
 
But how does anyone KNOW this was sold or is it just more scuttlebutt?  Anyone look at a plat map just to see how many transactions it would take?  Of course, they may just be leasing access rights.  And, also of course, if the original deeds are not KIng's land grants or whatever Barclay has, the fishing rights may not be associated with the riparian properties, which in New York is how it should be, as the fish are not on the private stream bottom but are swimming in the water, which is the property of the people of the State of New York.  SO a boat should be able top at least plug through, or back row and fish floats.   I remember a whole big mishmash on the Oak when a couple of guys tried to open a pay for play, lets see what happens here.

According to the map the property with the cottages or the old Tony's has not been sold but who knows how up to date it is. It is 5 areas behind Tony's, 32 acres behind the cottages and several residences dow to the compactor

An extra 25 shouldn't break someone for better creature comforts over sleeping on a plush bed vs a sheet of plywood.
I'm not wealthy by any means but I btdt far enough to deserve better

Probably shouldn't but does. 
But when you are up 2-3 days a week from mid Sept til mid Nov it adds up.
For me that that's around $600.
Not complaining just explaining!

I agree and no explanation needed here. I'm just throwing options. Its different if you go frequently or infrequent.
I'm the latter now.
I could easily and still stay on the cheap.in my camping mode through November or rent a monthly room. .Once the darkness and snow comes on that hill I'm out of that and into other adventures.
I'm not a frequent flier so comfort rules now that option is available.

Fall is camping or getting lucky sharing a bunk
Winter is for being comfy.
Just saying.

Here is how it worked for me.
I'd rent a room for 300 -350 a month. September and October.
I rented a slip at marina for 500 a season and stayed on the boat from July-September. All that I considered free..
Every single trip , every weekend not counting boat fuel, from here was at least 2-300 to and from.
80 for fuel in the truck, 100 for food and aaccessory is a givin.

Only part of that area is public, and it will remain public as the State has easements.   It's not easy to access the right edge from 2 a, but it can be done, and it is public almost down to the trooper.  And I believe you can still walk the tracks by Schoeller back to the trestle, and get to the Right bank there.  The left bank is private, and has been for quite some time, so unless you had permission or were trespassing, this doesn't change anything.

Thanks for the info Clint.
I remember when dsr started charging, the village also charged a parking fee at black and ballpark. It only lasted 2 years.
Any thoughts/feelings towards that in future ?
While it's not highly welcomed but would a drifboat regulation/ usage seem reasonable ?

DEC actually purchased the lot at DPW and in altmar to make more public lots so no charging there
