Fishing Public Right of Way

I went went for little stroll tonight and decided to bring a rod. I was in Montcalm county and had a run in with a local landowner. The road around the lake is 1-3 from the waters edge. Seems like the perfect situation to walk and cast. I had a landowner go ballistic on me and call the Leo on duty. The officer was a great guy and said sometimes it just easier to be the bigger man and walk away. I'm not to great at that but tonight was an exception. This was an older couple with a lot of f bombs flyin around. I was under assumption that the county owned 30' from the centerline. This would put the edge of the road easement 10' into the water.



Am I in the wrong casting down the edge of the road?

The Leo wasn't really sure of the official ruling.
