birchy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Was it ever cleared up whether or not the Saras had bed rights? I know there was another post that got WAY out of hand on the subject. Just wondering as I'll be down in the area for 3 weeks if someone had found out with absolute certainty before the thread was deleted? First post on the 2nd page. It would appear that they do not have rights to the streambed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcd Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 First post on the 2nd page. It would appear that they do not have rights to the streambed. ya saw that post but It's just a logical supposition based on how the title transfer should have worked but not an absolute. It's not that big of deal I guess. If I end up in the area I'll see what happens theres lots of river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 well...why don't you print off what has been posted on page 2, and drop in there and have a friendly chat with them..they will only chat with you or throw you off their property, in which case if they did, that will let you know that all was a bluff to only cater to their guests..then report back to us ..how's that?.............Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to take my trips this time of year to avoid the people. Camp grounds are generally empty, I can cook breakfast in my gonch with out offending anyone. Most mornings I come with in 5 feet of deer grazing at my camp. There's also very few times when I get to where I decide to start fishing that I cross paths with anyone the rest of the day.

Teck71 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Is there anyway to find out who has ownership of the stream beds and where in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjthom2 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I had a similar problem last fall on the Fallentimber, directly upstream of the Fallentimber Recreation area. There's a gentlmen who lives up on the high bank just upstream of the bridge who informed me the land to the water's edge was private property. I told him that to the best of my knowledge I was within my rights to walk below the high water mark. He disagreed and informed me I would be charged with tresspassing if I took a step out of the river. Rather than argue, I politely left (I try not to do too much wading in brown trout streams in late fall) and fished downstream instead. I always access at a public crossing or ask permission and this is the only problem I've ever had. Anyone else know the guy I'm talking about?

Different spot (direcctly west of there) but yah, that guy never looks impressed either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
