Thanks, this language is really scary. It shows the real intent of the enviral elite Nazis to get all of us out their purposed Druid Cathedrals:

"Ephemeral stream" is any trickle of water located anywhere snow is melting and flowing downhill. The proposed language states that human activity is not allowed within 150 feet of an ephemeral stream. Cabins are a human activity, as are camping, hiking, fishing, mountain biking and so on. Almost every cabin in the Sierra is surrounded by melting snow in the spring.

No human activity could occur within 300 feet of a meadow, stream bank, lake or river

That no human activity could occur within 300 feet shows their complete hatred of the average American. As a fly fisher, who never litters, catches and releases and leaves an area cleaner than when I came in (I pack out litter). I could be prevented from going withing 300 feet of a stream bank, lake or river. That makes it impossible to fish!

As an active Scouter, I have a problem with this myself.

BTW, I admire anyone people's ability to fly fish. I would move more towards making the flies.

[farmfriend]

anyone people's

Great English there. Sometimes I wonder. First I misspell people's names, then I write funky. What next?

When I moved to Sacramento I heard a greatdeal about the "Vernal Pools" , which were described as veritable edens, and resulted in large areas being off limits to development ( although already purchased and taxed accordingly ). So one spring day I went to visit them and saw what for all the world to my midwestern eyes were - puddles. Some large puddles, but puddles non the less. Get one of those on your property and you were screwed.

No person save Forest Service personnel may enter public forests. Forest Service personnel must file an environmental impact statement on each occasion before entering public forests.

Your tax dollars at work.

Have a nice day.

"I could be prevented from going withing 300 feet of a stream bank, lake or river. That makes it impossible to fish!"

I thought the top flycasters, such as yourself, could land a mayfly in a puddle from that distance...

Fishing is dangerous Grampa, to the fish. You should be spending your time.......... GIVING BACK to the community. You can work in a soup kitchen feeding the homeless, those poor lost souls never had the opportunity to work hard all their lives & retire to a life of luxury & fishing. What are you selfish or something? ;9/ heh heh (scarcastic snicker)
