The case involves property rights and he went into the whole thing
about riparian property rights and it got confusing for a non lawyer
like myself.


The fishermen need to take this up to a higher judge or the Supreme Court.
There was a case like that here, although it involved a trout stream whose
banks were owned or leased (don't remember) by Trout Unlimited. TU didn't
want any non-snobs using "their water". They got VERY badly spanked in
court.
