You have misunderstood. Nobody owns mineral rights on dogpound or Stauffer. Both creeks being spring fed, the high watermark is the bank. Landowners own the bank. They do not own the river bed or water. Unless you walk 100% in the water via a public access point like a bridge , permission is nessesary. Both these creeks would be nearly impossible to fish without navigating the banks, so permission is necessary.
There are only a few remaining mineral rights claims remaining. Jumpingpound, indigenous land, and a few places in the north west of the province. There are also a few prohibited high water access areas by government installations.
