Our friends at Chi Wulff posted this today, and it's an important issue for all recreational river and stream users whether in Montana or anywhere else in this country. Please click the link below and act accordingly to preserve public stream access.

MG - Very Much appreciate the shout about this issue; Montana has long enjoyed being somewhat of a model for stream access in the country. The assault underway currently in the Ruby River case is nothing short of astounding given Montana case law and history.
Dig the blog; we'll get you on our links page list as soon as we get our reformat done.
Thanks again and you're welcome at our fire anytime.
