Totally disagree that this is good news. The lakes were barren and on private land and the ranch pays to stock them, not the public system. It should be within their rights to charge a little money for a fishery they created out of their own pocket

I suspect the government did not stock the lakes due to the access fight.

Now that access is legally public they will put it on their stocking list.

I have lived in kamloops for years, there a literally hundreds of other stocked lakes within an hour's drive. This is the equivalent of stocking a pond on your own property and then losing a court battle that says anyone can now access it because it is a lake with fish in it.

Public water bodies are public. If no public access then your premise is valid. In this instance the fight was over the road. Is it public or private. If public then the lake with public access is public.

They still have other lakes than remain private due to access reasons.
