So... the Ruby? 17 Years, 3 Months ago  
So access open up on the Ruby now too? That was one of those rivers with limited access. I don't see any way for the folks blocking access to justify it in this light, but it would be good to know where the law stood before one goes and hops a fence there too.

Re:So... the Ruby? 17 Years, 3 Months ago  
The Ruby river decision has to do with access via two bridge county right of ways. The claim was that the right of way went to an hour glass shape at the bridge. That was thrown out. There is still another bridge that needs research as to the origin of the road. The decision allows crossing a fence that is attached to the bridge to access the river. All other trespass laws still apply. You must be below the high water mark or you are trespassing.

At the Ruby access points there are signs saying that there is public access and then areas that are private, in the river. It was my impression that they were saying you could not walk in the river bed up the river for as far as you'd like. If you stay in the river the whole time, can you walk as far up the Ruby as you'd like?

That is how I read it. I can bet you that there are still fences across the water.

Jan,

Last time I was on the Stillwater, one of the bridges had barbed wire stung on both sides so access was impossible.Some land owners will just push this to the limit and IGNORE any court rulings...

NFLB---I was on the Ruby, below the dam in the Alder area for two days last April '07. The one barbed-wire fence that I saw going across the river looked permanent and sturdy. So, I agree with you, I'll bet it is still there.

I love talking fly-fishing. So, if you want some info on fly angling my "home waters" in the Truckee area, do not hesitate to contact me off the board; whether by phone (530-587-7333) or e-mail (cyberfly@cyberfly.com). Please be patient relative to a quick reply; most especially during May-October.

My latest crusade is limiting undo fly fishing guide impact on the Little Truckee River. This small venue is being abused my commericial guiding interests. Consequently the fishery is being abused, IMO, most especially by guides to the detriment of the fishery. Moderation is the key in usage.

During the last two seasons I've diplomatically mentioned to many guides that they should coordinate with others guides so that they minimize impact...it has been to no avail. Some entities are more guilty than others; weather independent or "stabled" (outfitter or fly shop). So I've just started taking this public. Any civil suggestions/comments on limiting guide impact would be appreciated.

For my complete bio go to www.cyberlfy.com; then click-on my photo.



NOW FOR THE SPAM!!

Simply, I'm a fly fishing junkie. In 1984, in order to justify my addiction, I started Thy Rod & Staff in Truckee; the longest existing, fly fishing guide service in the Tahoe area and possibly one of the longest in California. I'm an independent; so the "buck stops with me". I tailor trips to the specific desires and skill levels of the client; no "my way or the highway" guiding.

Simply, experience counts folks! 2009 will be my 26th year exclusively as a professional fly fishing guide in Truckee. As long as I enjoying the interaction with other passionate fly anglers and/or those new to the sport; my service will continue into the future. I also "host" fly fishing club outings.

Encouraged by clients & family I started the Reel School of Fly Fishing in 1996. There are scheduled one & two-day clinics through-out the "general" season; entailing a maximum 3-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio. Now, since the season if open year-round; I have a scheduled snow-shoe/fly fishing group-outing during March.

Again in 2010 I will be "hosting" two groups at a private lodge in Chilean Patagonia; located 2+hours from Coyhaique, Chile. The lodge accommodates six (6) fly anglers only. It is located in an isolated river valley (40 minute jet-boat ride down river...no roads). From my past experience in this area, I'm guessing it is like Montana was 50-60 years ago....far-far-away from the "real world". Inquire for specifics, I will be going there every year. I've arranged with the lodge for some incredible pricing for two "hosted" weeks in 2010. Also I can arrange other stays and special pricing...contact me.
