The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

we have hundreds of thousands of acres that folks rent for peanuts from Uncle Sam so their cattle can get nice n' fat on desert greenery (yeah, right!).

Anyhow, they get the grazing rights but not the ownership rights and so long as there aren't any signs on the fences, you can walk onto the property. (That's what I've been told.)

We're not talking about someone's back yard with cyclone fencing.

I've heard that there is quite a bit of private property along some of the coastal streams and rivers. So, my question is, how will I know if property is private/no trespassing...with or without fences?

And yes, I'm not looking to get into more trouble with NorCal's finest.
