In the case of Thomas v. State of Iowa in 1907, the U.S Supreme Court ruled that a state has the power to regulate and control its own waters for public use without interference from federal authorities. The court held that states have sovereign authority over their navigable waterways unless there is an explicit provision by Congress stating otherwise. This ruling came after John F. Thomas was convicted for placing nets in Lake Okoboji, which violated Iowa's fishing laws prohibiting such actions. He appealed his conviction arguing that he had a right to fish as he pleased because Lake Okoboji was considered navigable waters under federal law and thus subject only to Congressional regulation rather than state law. However, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., writing for the majority, rejected this argument affirming states' rights over local resources unless explicitly superseded by federal legislation.

The dissenting opinion in the case of Thomas v. State of Iowa, 1907, is not readily available or recorded in public legal databases. This could be due to various reasons including the age of the case and how records were kept at that time. It's also possible that there was no formal written dissent for this particular case as it's not always a requirement for every Supreme Court decision. Therefore, without specific information on who dissented and what their arguments were against the majority ruling, a summary cannot be provided accurately.
