Georgia has always had some of the most idiotic laws when it comes to waterways. What it has always boiled down to is the legal definition of the word "navigable". The original definition essentially said if it could float a log it was navigable. It was later changed to essentially say being capable of barge traffic, which few GA rivers are. I've been fishing the upper Flint for over 40 years, and my family has for generations. There was never any issue anywhere on the river until some jackasses bought the land adjacent to Yellowjacket Shoals and sought to exploit the river for profit. Unfortunately, even though the DNR refuses to write tickets, the law is on the landowner's side and GA courts will side with them every time. PS - Those post-spawn fish love to chase and/or short strike, which can make for a frustrating day. The last time I fished it, I had around 40 topwater blowups and only caught 12.

@therivergiveth Ай бұрын

@@jamessmith-hq5mr Have you reviewed the new law that the governor signed? It still doesn't clear up what is "navigable" but it does clearly state that navigable rivers are to be used by the public as highways. The flint has centuries of history of using it for navigation.

@jamessmith-hq5mr Ай бұрын

@@therivergiveth I've only skimmed through it. What you posted illustrates my point though, it says "navigable rivers" and the upper Flint is not legally considered navigable. It should be but at this point it isn't. The lawyer for Four Chimneys LLC, who owns the land in question, has already argued that point in court and won. As a lifelong river rat, I want full public access to all of our rivers, but the current law is not on our side.

@therivergiveth Ай бұрын

@jamessmith-hq5mr yea but that case was before the new law. I guess we will have to see but the public needs to come together to fight these ridiculous access laws. Even the upper flint has been used for hundreds of years for navigation. Taken from the state website: 24 "further finds that, by the common law, the citizens of this state have an inherent right to use for passage and for hunting and fishing all navigable streams from low-water mark to low-water mark." Again, it's all about what's considered navigable. We need to make a stand. Flowing rivers affect everyone - shouldn't be privatized.

@jamessmith-hq5mr Ай бұрын

In GA, the landowner owns the riverbed to the center. If the same person owns the land on both sides, they own the entire riverbed and can legally "post" it as long as the river is not considered to be a "navigable" waterway. The recently changed law being discussed in this video will almost certainly be overturned in court, because the Upper Flint is not considered to be "navigable" by GA or federal law. Federal law considers the Flint navigable as far north as the city of Montezuma in Macon County. The area shown in this video is well upstream from there.
