Why would anyone fish down south is beyond me. Warm water, fish
taste
like crap... And don't even get me started on what they
call
lobster

Yeah, I agree. The only way to fish is to freeze your ass off all of
the time. The only true fishing is in the dead of winter, and that
consists of sitting in your house next to the stove dreaming of it.
I've lived in that crap, and I've lived in the south, give me the
south ANYTIME. You really should broaden your horizons!

Skipper? Skipper!

Jim, have you found any laws, or treaties that states that because you
live in the proximity of a given body of water, that you own rights to
it, and only those who live near it? As a curious sort, I'd really
like to know where you've gotten that information. And that makes some
questions arise:
What IS the proximity? 2 miles? 5 miles?
What about the people who live near the streams, etc. that feed the
Great Lakes? Given how the water came from their area, wouldn't they
be the real owners of the water, using your analogy?
Which of the great lakes gets the first right of refusal for the
water? There is a flow, so you'd have to wonder.

There are treatys protecting the great lakes...

Don, nowhere does that "comment" address my questions. JimH stated
that no one is entitled to the water but people living in proximity to
the lakes, and that is hogwash. Maybe the millions upon millions of
people that live near the watersheds that supply the great lakes
should divert THEIR water, then sell it! The lakes are supplied by a
very large area.


As I said before... Canada's concern would be for the US to dig a series of
canals/tunnels whatever to divert massive amounts of water to dry southern &
south western states.... altering the Great Lakes in the process. Anyone
diverting the natural catchment area would affect those lakes..... we're
with JimH on this one.
