No, we have not fished Kohler but good guess. I did take a quick peek at Kohler and Sheboygan Falls once just to see what it looked like on New Years Eve coming back from a different trip.

It was a different golf course farther south, but I think they have now removed the dam that helped create the gravel beds. My 2 friends and I were a little startled when we looked up on the hike in and were told to leave by the gentleman standing on the railroad track crossing. We had walked this creek upstream and down and never had a problem years before or after that day. 

I can see how people would not want a complete zoo occuring, and in some cases on other streams I have seen it get quite crowded. I tried to avoid all of that. I think it might also help if you can not be so obtrusive or obvious, standing in the open or in peoples way??

In Pennsylvania, my understanding of the law is that the property owner owns the streambed under the water and any dry land - stream banks, islands, exposed sandbars, etc.  However, if at any time in history, the water has been designated as navigable, you are allowed to float or wade.  You may be prevented from stepping ashore by the owner, but he/she cannot tell you to "walk on water".

There's been a bit of controversy over this topic in PA, as it seems there is controversy everywhere - with some stories of PA landowners stringing cables across streams that are paddled by kayakers and used by trout fishermen - a rather dangerous situation potentially.  Unfortunately, I can't recall if I ever read about whether or not the landowner is allowed to do such a thing and if that cable (or others like it) are removed once the authorities become involved.
