Hi I'm Johnny I'm from Manchester just started fishing this season. today I was fishing in the hockanum river in Vernon, I was wading in the river not on a bank and a guy who had a house on the side of the river said he owned that part of the river and I had to leave or he would call the cops. What I wanted to know was can he own that part of the river what Are the rules and regs on that???

Not easy to find out if they own it.They would have to own both sides of the river to own it. In NY state you can walk around in the river as long as you below the high water mark. Your best bet to be safe is call the dep and ask for yourself. If they dont know go to town hall of the town and ask them. And if not report that a guy is saying that and he owns it.... Alot of peple say they own stuff and i say im not leaving till dec or dep say i cant be there.... Check for posts if it says you can fish fish.... i had these people say that they owned this place in upstate and was talking shit to them when they got in my face i was like dude say all you want cause if you look right there. as i pointed in front of me there was a sign that said public fishing and i exchanged some nice words to them. just dont be a prick about it... check it out and know your waters at all time.....

as far as I know they own land they do not own the water, you can fish if you are in the water. I have had the same type of issue when fishing a dock from the boat, they legally cannot make you leave they only own the dock. Having said that usually if they are nice to me I am nice to them and I move on.
