The fly club stock more streams and rivers than you think. some on stocking days (august/september) some by individuals of the club who are tight lipped. the land owners dont get paid any kind of monies from the club 90% of the time they dont let you on because of either rubbish left in the past, a threat to any form of livestock or if its some of the dams they dont want people tracking thru there properties to get to them. i personally know of 16 streams that hold trout and not all are club access only. TheBerg if you were down south i have a feeling i know the property owner and which stream you are talking about and dont worry he has been known to approach people with a shotty. basically from a landowners point of view its like someone walking in your back yard at your house looking to play ball with your dog. alot of fish are lure caught and do quite extensive damage to the fish with either swiped hookups on the eyes or jaws or inhaled trebles which harms the fish even if it looks like its been released well and with our climate if stocking stopped natural breeding is a lot harder if they are stressed from the aforementioned. these hard to access waters are usually fly only which alleviates alot of this damage to the fish. you will be surprised if you go to fly fishing instead of spin you will actually improve your quality of fish as the food source can be matched better with a fly for a feed rather than a lure for a defensive strike, well it did for me anyway. TheBerg if you do happen to find a good spot or are lucky enough to gain access to some private waters for your own sake and relationship with the owner DONT tell a sole or take anyone or it will be lost faster than it was gained.
