[QUOTE="Whisp, post: 372231, member: 9598"] The fishing part of it is fine, I'm not sure how an overly exuberant ranger would see that. "A-Hah, gotcha, you is sposed to be fishing but you is mining". Mind you on private land the likelihood of getting busted is I reckon, next to none. I just wanted to point out that the fishing access right may not automatically allow you to mine a farmers creek. This has I think to do with riparian rights, those rights are that if there is more than one land owner on a river or stream, one can't commandeer all the water with out sharing and allowing access to that water. P.S. In situations of very old freeholds, ownership/lease of land can extend to the centre of the waterway and landowners on either side may have jurisdiction over half the waterway each.
