Fish and game had a problem with us doing it. The argument was based on changing the river beds sedimentry deposit. I have a buddy that worked for the dept. of water resources, and was able to get an statement from the head of fish and game to "ok" our constuction of rails because he didnt see an effect on the river bottom in terms of sedimenty deposits. Since then I keep a copy of this repsonce in my boat...just in case fish and game messes with us. "your boss is cool with it, see" (while handing the printed out email to them). The police or sherief have never bothered us, and actually they have put thier boat onshore just downstream to watch. They told us that "as long as we are not obstructing the flow of traffic" they have no problem. We never were approched by the Army Corp of Engineers.
