So it was great to get out to fish the Lewis, until the local color showed it's teeth. So I was fishing float with a nightmare jig about three feet deep. No luck with the fish that were there today, saw quite a few swimming around and saw one turn to investigate but other then taht no luck. On a side note, can someone please educate me on the proper ettiquette to fishing with floats... is it ok to cast upstream when the guy fishing upstream from you is reeling in his float?? I think it is and to be honest I dont care if it is or not, but to avoid any more problems like I had today I would like to know from everyone else. Thanks!! And to the guy who decided he only knew swear words... I am not sorry I cast over you, you sorry snagger!!

When else are you supposed to cast upstream? You obviously want to wait until they are actually reeling in of course. When the person upstream is reeling in, most of the time I'll wait until I see their float cross where my line will fall when I cast upstream but I sure don't wait them reel all the way in. Sounds like you were fine and just happened to be fishing next to a jerk.
