re: How do local people feel about Troy Landry?

Is the water not covering land inside the boundries of his property? All land has survey lines. If the water is inside these lines its his. This is not rocket science. A dredged canal across your property out to a bigger water outlet is still on your property. I do not see how this is hard for people. I almost feel that the people that don't understand this missed civics class in grade school or sat back and just ate the crayons

If it is fed from a public navigable waterway, yes.

You are correct for Louisiana.

I would like to point out though, for all other 49 states, their civics class tells them the opposite...........


Their civivs class tells them this


You do not own a body of water unless it's 100% on your property surrounded by land that can not be reached by public waters. Interconnected waterways are public.

I wish. Unfortunately, we are in La, so we have to suffer the consequences for being in our fricked up state govt that is last in almost everything

You just said it's correct for lousiana. We are talking about Louisiana. It's a fricked up law but it's still the law

Agreed

I am just telling the poster he might want to get off his high horse about civics class and shite.....

Amen brother. Local people believe just because they have lived in a trailer nearby for 45 years that they somehow have a claim to all the local wilderness.

And that is false. I trout fish on streams in GA that I have to exit the stream and walk around a certain section because it is private. Private streams are huge in Montana.

Nope Colorado too. Landowner owns the bottom to the center of the stream. You can float through and fish but you better not get out the boat or anchor down

Also, NAVIGABLE WATERWAYS cant be blocked off in those states


A smaller stream will likely not qualify as navigable, so blocking it off is allowed

All states have some differences in their laws

LA is by far unique with the amount to power they give LANDowners to restrict access to large navigable waterways connected to public waterways
