OF INTEREST TO FISHERMEN.

The following letter from Game
Warden Woodard has been received
by Durango party. and will be of
special Interest to fishermen:
Denver July q. 1904.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours of
July lst; The law provides that the
public shall have the right to FISH In
any stream In this state stocked at
public expense, subject to actions in
trespass for damage done to property
along the banks of any such stream.
1t is not the intention that the public
shall have the right to run over peo-
pies crops and damage their property
away from the stream. but IL certainly
is the Intention, and ii Is right and
Just that they should have the right
to fish in streams stocked at public
expense; and, according to law. they
have got just such right. and am
truly glad that the district attorney
you refer to has put such construction
on the law for he is absolutely correct
In his construction, and after the peo-
pie along Pine river and other streams
thoroughly understand this we VIII
have no more uouble in that direction.
II we do, It Will simply mean that
the state Will not stock any such
streams, but inasmuch as they have
been stocked at public expense, the
owners of the land along these streams
should not undertake to drive the peo-
Pile away from fishing.
