Not For Fishing
We rented both the main house and guest house for a week of fishing . We make the trip every year around the third week of July to try and hit the peak of the incoming Reds .The ownership group that owns the property was aware that our main purpose was to come up and fish away from the crowded public areas.. The price was a little steeper than other properties that we had rented in the past but having private river access was worth it to our group.
On the first day of our trip a few of the guys went down to the river to try their luck . Within an hour of fishing one the neighbors bordering our property approached my son who was on our property attempting to fish . The man was visibly upset and began questioning my son about our group. Did we rent the house to fish ? How many of you are there ? Do you know the owners ? My son did his best to answer as to not make the man any more upset .The neighbor began to threaten us with being arrested, that it was Illegal for us to be fishing here . He yelled at us that the covenant and restrictions in the development preclude VRBO type rentals that allow guest to fish .After his tirade the neighbor went back to his home . I immediately contacted the caretaker of the property and explained that we had paid top dollar for a peaceful fishing trip and that this was far from it .The caretaker said he would go talk to tneighbor and they had problems with those owners before.On his return from talking with the neighbors he said everything is ok now go and fish .
Well the talk didn’t have affect we all had wanted . The next day the same neighbor and his neighbor came at our group on two more occasions each more aggressive than the last . They blasted the same speak , that we had no right to be fishing the river as vacation renters . That we were trespassing and would be arrested . If looking at the river the neighbor to the left said we will make it so uncomfortable for you that you wil never be back! This guy took it as mission to get us out no matter what he had to do to make it happen.
I must clarify that at No time did any member of our group set foot on anyone’s property other than the one we had rented .
By this time we had enough of this boorish behavior and tried to find a way to save our vacation and fishing trip . We decided to rent two boats in town and use them to find uncrowded public fishing areas.
We stopped fishing the property and used the boats the remainder our trip.
We paid for river access ?
