River access restrictions (new legal ruling)

A judge in Loosiana declared that 'pleasure' boating (this MUST include kayaking in the Missisippi river is criminal trespass: does this mean the waterways access fight is starting once again?

What does AW say about this?

That ruling will be quickly overturned. Lots of powerful people are fishermen.

Sounds like an opinionated ruling by a renegade judge. He's just a district court though, and the court of appeals will likely shoot him down. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure there is plenty of case law going back hundreds of years that favors recreational access.
