It doesn't say if they were using rod and reels but I draw the line at fishing from a public stretch and casting into a private stretch and trotting it across the boundary.

The water it self can not be owned, only the river bed, so casting and/or letting across the boundry is legal so long as it don't touch the river bed or the river bank on the other side of the boundry.

Same rules apply if your in a boat on the water, your allowed so long you don't touch private owned land.

Southy is right, so long as you don't touch private land/property, there is nothing illegal about it since water can't technically be owned as it is constantly moving... Unless you're talking about a lake.
