As of now there is a fence right to the bridge to access North???? Side of the LFZ . You can no longer access by walking down the stone wall. There should be access Down by Shane' s place to walk around. New owners of the house have posted the property. You can still fish the river there, but will have to walk around and stay down on the PFR

Clint, despite the pfr map, I have heard the contrary regarding that section of bank having pfr. I'm sure it will get hashed out. Big don who used to own allowed people to access it. But the access was not a public right

Per the DEC tonight at the meeting is where my info came from.   You can access up by Shane's and walk around. They said you need to "stay on the bank'' to access that section to fish.  No more ''hanging out on the rocks.''.

that's crazy.. a map I see shows pfr from lot west side of bridge right up through the north bank .. Hanging on the rocks , lol ..  It's getting so screwy with boundary and such, everywhere there why bother.. Once the accident rates go up for trying to access public pfr's, maybe someone will get their head outta the sand.. AKA, nys.. I truly do respect peoples ownership but Unless there are clearly marked boundaries , it's a mess ..

Access down by Shane's was always there and secured long ago per the DEC because they knew of this. Big Don was just nice and let people access. What do you think is going to happen when some entitled a hole thinks its his right to go in there because he drove 6 hours..........     Maybe they will charge to go in there and to ''hang on the rocks''. LOL

I think it's going to be a mess because for 20 years, people have been allowed to hang out on rocks .

What I'm confused about is you can access above then walk to the bridge along the bank but can't access from the bridge ?

I have not physically laid eyes on the fence, but they said it goes from the house , right to the bridge.  According to the tax map they only own a tiny chunck  of the bank right at the bridge corner. The DEC owns the river .

Here is where I'm confused. The pfr shows both sides of bridge on north bank

The PFR maps are approximations, if you went by the scale you would think you had a huge width, too, but in fact, you only have 35 or so feet from the water.  The posted signs were there last year.  IF NYSDEC never bought the easement for that piece of bank, he is well within his rights to post it.  If people go in there because they feel entitled because of their drive, I am sure an Oswego County Mountie will be happy to issue them a ticket for trespass.  I do know one old timer from New Jersey who will not be happy, as he spent weeks there last year, but maybe he's the one who bought the house.
 
I have reached out to friends in the agency for clarification, and especially for reassurance on the easements downstream along School House and the wires, as that property is all for sale, but there are easements on all of it.  I am also concerned about the Left bank downstream of the 2a Bridge as the folks who won that have lots of posters, many on the same trees as the PFR signs.
