Just to add anther layer of complexity to Mike P.'s solid comment. You do have a right to navigate the navigable waters of the U.S., so evern though someone might own the river bottom thay can't stop you form navigating in the river. Now what's unclear is whether or not fishing is "navigating." If I had to guess I'd say you're probably allright as long as your trolling, but may have a problem if you drift and definately have a problem if you anchor.
