Not really a "sides" issue. We have an expanding population and limited recreational resources. Everyone needs to work together, be considerate and understanding that the rivers are a shared resource.strider43 wrote:Well we can see which side of the fence your on, tight lines dude go catch a big one.
If I'm drift fishing and a boat goes by I skip a couple casts and let them pass. If I'm running the boat and see a bank fisherman in the water up to the top of their waders, fighting a fish or finishing a drift I drop off of plane and hold back untill the fish is posing for pictures or they finish their drift.
As a drift fisherman we must understand that when a boat is heading upstream they typically create less wake when on plan than when just barely making headway against the current. In that case back up a few feet and let them pass.
