Trout Commander Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Only when you are mudding in (or right on) the streams. Like those morons. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
FishinCricket Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Only when you are mudding in (or right on) the streams. Like those morons. Yeah, I dunno why anyone would be opposed to them tearing up their own back 40.. Anybody here got mudders like these? cricket.c21.com
Outside Bend Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I saw alot of ATV damage working in the Boone National Forest in southern Kentucky- clear upland streams turned into turbid mudholes, streambanks and riparian corridors stripped of vegetation, gullies forming where folks had tried going straight up hills. I've seen similar destruction on a few MDC accesses on the Missouri River. If destroying your own property is your prerogative I can't say much, but I have absolutely zero respect for the folks who do it in public property. <{{{><

flytyer57 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Looks like someone got muddy... Hmmm... I wonder... There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
Wayne SW/MO Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 That's common on the Kings at the 62 bridge. But Arkansas conservation has it under control I'm sure, given their superior work they must believe it's good for the river.:lol: Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Outside Bend Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 You mean like this, OB? Looks like someone got muddy... Pretty similar. Give a dozen morons a dozen ATV's and wayyyyy too much free time...and watch a stream go down the toilet. <{{{><
jdmidwest Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 This used to happen on the Upper Black River around Lesterville, but all of it has been stopped. It is illegal to ride motorized vehicles of any type in any stream in Mo. You can only cross at legal crossings or ford streams for agricultural purposes. There are several places that do it on private land, but they are not allowed to disturb streams outside of their property.

Stoneroller Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Tennessee shuts down almost all of it's OHV trails down during winter due to the increased erosion that occurs during the winter. The local fishermen put some serious pressure on the state and the state actually went out, did some studies and concluded that the fishermen were correct and OHV trails are mostly shut down now. There are still a few that are open over winter and it brings a lot of heat from fishermen as one of the trails is above the Tellico river and sedimentation has been increasing in that watershed. Last I heard TDNR was holding public hearings to discuss the closure of ALL state OHV trails during winter months. Fish On Kayak Adventures, LLC.
