Has anyone ever fished the Ladue Dam discharge? Just curious because I see it on google maps, but I'm not sure if it is accessible by kayak/canoe or you could possible walk in possible if it's even legal?!

Ive walked around there a ton of times .. But not for the purpose of trespassing .Its usually to take care of some personal business ,,if you know what I mean ,or to let my dog take care of his business . I take him fishing on my boat every time . I always wondered why the cameras were there . BUT i dont do anything malicious when I go there .Ive brought my kids there for over 20 yrs since they were toddlers .My Daughter seen her first bald eagle catch a fish about 10 ft in front of us. That area is beautiful and we always pick up garbage when we walk around there . As far as fish ive never really caught much other then bluegill or carp. My Rottweiler/Pitt loves the area.

Wow I just skimmed through all the posts ,,had no idea ,, it was that serious , never really payed attention to a lot of the signs .I thought all that hoopla was pertaining to the Bald Eagle nest and keeping people away from that . But I guess when you dont have a criminal mind and take care of nature ,you dont harm anything and leave things in peace. Ive been breaking the law for about 30 yrs now not knowing it. Glad ive been informed now.

Wow. That is so extreme assume you must just be trolling but most likely there are other people that think that way too. How could you possibly not know before being told now that consciously walking beyond conspicuous “No Trespassing” signs is breaking the law? Blatant disregard like that is one reason access to beautiful areas is being totally closed off. More and more people have been taking your approach that such signs somehow don’t apply to themselves and the rest of us suffer as a result. Plus you apparently have been teaching this lawbreaking attitude to your children. Trespassing is not legal just because you don’t do anything malicious while you are there. You are very lucky if you actually have been doing it for that long without getting caught.

Educate the Public? Issue Permits?

NO TRESPASSING
is a Gray Area?????

Get a Clue...
Akron Doesn't Want You There!

how com they can not protect the property from criminals,they are only able protect from fisherman,the criminal do not care what the sine say.

I totally agree with you . Like I said before ,,, The reason I go there is because I , my kids or my dog want to use the bathroom.. Some people dont understand human nature I guess, Sorry we dont wear diapers . There are people shooting each other and shooting cops out in the real world ,, if you trespassing because your kids want to go to the bathroom ,,whoopty do, Im sure you law enforcing officials (trespassing enforcers) hold off from doing your business if you have to go when you are out there . If you go ,,you commit public indecency , exposure . correct?
NO I DONT go breaking laws that have serious consequences ,,but PLEASE!!!! this is fricken petty. I dont vandalize ,as a matter of fact my mom thought me better . I try to blend in with nature , If anything go enforce the law where it really matters In the city ,in the ghetto ect. I payed for my fishing license since i was 16 and I live to fish and be a good father ,as a matter of fact my kids are outstanding human beings because i,a single father tought them to be that way . If I go to piss or **** and walk around for cover that does not make me a criminal .. Get a life buddy ,, dont take your Barny Fife job so seriously.

Hopefully if you continue to trespass your past luck will run out and you will be caught, cited and fined. Maybe that will deter you. The sooner that happens the better for the rest of us since it would then be less likely that our current access would be restricted more or totally closed off due to your continuing violations.

Guess if all "Sportsman" had your "Law Abiding Attitude", the world would be a better place! I think not.

Paying for a Fishing License does NOT give you the right to pick & choose which Laws & Regs are applicable to you or not.

"Sportsman" who sidestep various rules, regulations and common conservation practices (No matter what organization, community or government mandates them) are not true "Sportsman", but Half Arses at best.

Your reasoning & attitude has some shortcomings... at least in this subject matter... and a very poor example & mentorship to the younger generation and future "conservationists" of our nation.

And Your reasoning has a bunch of mumbo jumbo behind it ,,, I Think you neglect to see the reason as a HUMAN being ... Like I stated it before ...IT WAS TO USE THE BATHROOM. its people like you that need to take lessons on communication and compassion. There are always grey ares in laws ,,, Its never black or white .I could give you many reasons mister . Whatever ,, I have many other things that take priorities over this non-relevant issue . Have a wonderful day.

Let me get this straight, because I'm not as sharp as I used to be:

Your rationale for trespassing at Ladue is as follows:
1. My son is in Law Enforcement
2. My daughter works for the govt
3. My daughter had to go to the bathroom

Yeah, your defense is certainly sound.

CASE DISMISSED!

Or you can go a couple hundred feet more that is not posted to use the room........ if you waited till the point of pissing your pants you probably should wear a diaper. ..... not rocket science. Then again I just go. I dont care if someone's watchin. Ive been following this thread for a bit. I cant even remember what its about originally. Hey how about dont trespass. If you do dont openly admit it. Now lets all move on and wait for whatever season your waiting on. Its wayyyyy to early for cabin fever.

I have used the bathroom many times at Ladue. Going on th edam would offer no privacy so a a quick pull up on the shore, east or west, and back in the kayak. The east or west bank has trees. The dam is just rocks and really offers no place to go. I have been seen by the warden on several occasion never was questioned or hassled. Just a quick wave as I get back into the yak and back to fishing. I am sure most law enforcement would do the same.
