JB. Go to www.theoec.org. Looking in the search function and I suspect you'll find what your looking for.

WOW! The last time I tried to roll a boat I should have taken a lunch.
Its been a few years and several pounds of less ballast. I think the last was a SOT Torrent. I think it was self-righting.
Of couse I don't own a good boat to try it anymore.
I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

Dave, I might be a good idea. A location for quick reference or interest separating the discussions that maybe afloat.
Its up to you! Works for me.

Dave, If its floatable is navigable. If you hiking its not.
Thats the seasonal question I continue to place with watercraft. They to fall back on the idea if it can be PADDLED then its navigable.
I guess you were hiking with your boat seaching for navigable water.
Go figure?

I'll try contacting the former watershed coordinater for Paint Creek. She may well be able to offer an answer or point a direction.
Oh! Here is something to keep in mind! Is that stream navigable? That may well become a significant portion in the issue. That will require a judgement call and under what qualify or disqualifying elements are required by someone?
Fuel for thought?

I think this one may fall under several possible jurisdictions.
First, speak with Div. of Watercraft. There maybe an understanding, court ruling or judgement from the attorney general. I think they probably have handled this question before.
Secondly, It may fall under a county or similar entity as a land or zoning-like laws. It may actually be a dated law from back in the 1800's. County engineer, auditor's office or soil & water district office may have an idea.
Lastly, Check with a state/national level paddling, environmental or hunting/sportsmens organization. They tend to retain legal departments for such issues and legislative policies..

I did for about 4 years while collect scale sample for ODNR and tail clipping for a Case Western study.
I have one of the ISA log books I'd consider using.
I haven't gotten back into the pattern of filing my fishing reports the past 3 years.
I propably ought to consider trying this season.

My experience has been that an increase of water tends bring the smallie out of their holding patterns and they put on the feed bag.
They are willing to chase, stalk, cruise and travel to feed. I think Andy has the right pattern for his situation. On many waters its all about the buzz or chug. Other areas its spinnerbaits, noisy cranks or flashy plastic.
You have to hurry while the waters still flowing. As the water levels drop and temperatures follow smallies will return to the deeper wintering holes and feeding patterns.

DD,
If they want the the right to THEIR PRIVATELY OWNED shorelines. Then they won't need to expect public funds to restore private beaches, eroding banks or crumbling structures from the natural forces of the water.
They should be required to adhere to standards for environmental impacts from alterations on THEIR property that may adversely effect the waters and its inhabitants.
They want it. They get the responsibilityand legalities to manage it. Rick Rick

Eugene, I have fished and floated Capinta before the slurry discharge. My buddy, JJ. fished it frequently over a 20 term. It was a great stream with a surprising smallie population.
It seem out of place to have such a beautiful stream in the heart of coal country.
JJ presented background on the stream in a conference with OEC and agencies immediately after the discharge.
I've been following it along to see where it go.
I will review the links and pass it along to JJ.
Thanks for sharing!
Rick
