After further research on this I am
convinced that the below statement by Philip is what was meant by the ruling.
CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 33 and
50 spell out the definition of the main channel of any waterway in the
The case was discussed on another list. It turned out that the rulling
was about flooded over land. Not tidal. In other words, of your land was
flooded over you still owned it and any one who floated a boat over it to
fish without your permission was trespassing.

This is how it was also explained to
me earlier today by someone I know who is a lawyer. Whether that’s really
the case or not remains to be seen in the enviro-political scene and the
interpretation of laws of this country at the present time. If not viewed as
above the ruling sure flies in the face of traditional rights pertaining
to waterways.
