My Weekend: Enjoying Montana's Stream Access Law

Check out Jonathan Weber's interesting op-ed from last week in the New York Times - it is about Montana's landmark stream access law, and how private landowners are trying to encroach on it. I thought of this article when I went fly fishing this weekend, and caught my first trout - I was enjoying my rights under the stream access law like anyone else is permitted. That's really what's so great about this law, and why it should be enacted in other states. It allows everyone, regardless of socioeconomic level, to enjoy this state's natural resources - resources that should always remain in public hands.
