Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
How can a developer close off a section of the river ? They do not own the water yet they closed off a section of bethel island that a lot of us fish .

Wow! I thought that any navigable waterway was fishable, unless it was military.dvkawboy wrote:How can a developer close off a section of the river ? They do not own the water yet they closed off a section of bethel island that a lot of us fish .

I thought the same thing
Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
How have they blocked it off ?? I'd contact the Sheriff and get an official ruling. But I don't think they can block off any navigable part of the river. It's like an owner can block you from being ON his dock, but can not stop you from fishing UNDER his dock. Tho, many have tried, I encourage them to call the Sheriff on me !!

From a reliable source:
Per a deputy with CoCo County SO, it's a "private waterway" that the company closed to the public. The company can deny access because they carved the waterway out, are putting in pilings for the docks in preparation for building houses, not to mention not wanting things stolen.

Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
I think this sheriff may be wrong. State law and Federal law protects public access to all navigable waterways.MichaelB wrote:From a reliable source:

The Coast Guard would probably be a more reliable source.

Yes !.... if developers carved out that waterway ! they have the legal right to close it off to public access, if state or army Corp of engineers , created it !, then public access is automatic.....
Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
Just doesn’t seem right . Who ever cuts it out , it’s still our water .

Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
Yah I was over there Friday thinking the same thing. Doesn't seem right.
I contacted Fish and Wildlife this morning to investigate if they have a legal right to do so.
I am currently awaiting a phone call back as the gentleman stated he would look into it, he said
there is a possibility that they have pulled a permit to temporarily block off the area.
Will let you guys know as soon as I hear back from him.

Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
My understanding is that in order to Block it off from boaters/fisherman, they need an ordinance or permit from the city and it has to be posted with that ordinance. Without that permit/ordinance from the city, they cannot block the navigable waterway. Its plainly stated in the California Constitution.
Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
If the Sheriff isn't going to enforce the law it would likely take a lawsuit, but who's gonna fork out the money for that?
Re: Delta coves closed off ( keep out )
Not trying to defend the developer/contractor, but if they are driving piles or have other similar heavy construction activity ongoing, they are likely obligated for safety/insurance concerns to close off "bankrupt bay" to the public.

I know people have been shore fishing till mid this year when they fenced it off better.mark poulson wrote:But they have allowed unrestricted public access for years.bent70 wrote:Thats been closed for a few years? Entry has had no tresspasing signs since they cut the levee. Where have you been?
How was the fishing in there? By boat. I figured thats where the fish went when i couldnt catch any....

The first thought that I had was that this will add 500 more ski boats to the traffic out there. With what's going on with the water I can't see fisherman investing 1m on a home there at this time.
I'm surprised they're targeting Spring for opening. I was in there over the summer and no construction was going on that I could see.

I'm sure that's just to get people interested. Even with a lot of prefab, like the houses in Summer Lake, it will take them at least 9 months to get a house built and ready to sell, assuming they've gotten all the utilities and sewer connections sorted out beforehand.db220 wrote:The first thought that I had was that this will add 500 more ski boats to the traffic out there.
