F YOU RIVER'S EDGE!

Well, the shit-hits just keep on coming! North South Development, LLC - developers of River's Edge Community  have whipped up a big plate of twisted logic with a steaming side of greed and taken three Virginia Fishermen to court for "trespassing"! Yes that's right kids - they, like other a-holes along the Jackson River, claim to own the river AND  bottom AND all the fish contained therein where said section of aforementioned river runs through their property.(I said that all "legal-like"!) So it seems that when I as a Virginian pay, through license fees, to stock this river, those fish that find themselves in these "private" portions are hereby declared off limits to me and every other law-abiding fisherman. It seems that I'm paying to stock "their" river! If North South Development wins this case the precedent set would be devastating for Virginia Fisherman! PLEASE, I implore you, support the Virginia Rivers Defense Fund in their defense of our rights to fish! They're doing an amazing and all be it difficult job defending against utterly frivolous and lop-sided cases such as the above.
