[font "Times New Roman"]Ok as I grew up and was taught by my grandfather and dad how to fish, they also taught me how to be a well behaved fisherman. If you fishing a river and someone is parked and fishing a stretch of river you dive up to the next spot, you don’t step in the river 10 feet above them and fish!!!. I fish Blacksmithfork River 1 to 2 times a week because its 5 min away and a fun place to fish. The last few year it has become ridicules with the number of people that will park right next to you and jump in the river right in front of you!!!!! It happens every time I go now!!! I’m ready to get a big stick and start teaching manners. Do I own the river? NO, but if I’m fishing a section and working my way up. Don’t walk into the river 10 feet in front of me. Its only common courtesy. Why cant people get this? [/font]

Dude I totally feel ya. If you fish the bridge at benson marina there's these little [font "Times New Roman"][#000080]please no derogatory references by race -- Kent[/#000080][/font] that'll come stand shoulder to shoulder with you and cast right over your line. Not to mention they leave all their garbage all over the place there. Some people just don't understand.

I second that. This year we hit ice-off at Strawberry just perfectly. We were over by Bryant's Fork and had a nice, small section of open water to fish. As we were standing there fishing, a guy walks up, gears up himself and float tube and jumps right in. I had to go over to my second pole and reel it in because he was going to paddle right thru it. The section of open water was so small we had to start watching where casted so we didn't either cross him, or hit him. I was just plain dumb-founded!
Needless to say, we packed up and left after catching a few and found a different spot.

+1 the problem is public spots on the blacksmith are getting fewer and fewer. Try steelhead fishing, or combat fishing as i like to call it.

its the asme salmon fishing in WA. its A'holes and elbows there. if you hook something on your flyrod and start to walk down stream to fight it, 90% of the people there reel up, let you pass, and then go about their buisness. its the 10% that dont move then get mad at you cause your fish crossed their lines..... then only after roughly 40 minutes of fighting when you come back to where you dropped your pack to "claim" your spot, someone else is standing over it fishing, and then they get all pissy that you want your fishing spot back. thankfully i have never run into that in UT fly fishing. all of the guys that have come up on me ask how im doing and then move on. only time somehting remotley close to someone standing next to me happened along 84 when a dude asked how i was doing, then asked if he could fish a pool about 15 feet upstream from me, i oblogied cause i was moving down stream soon anyway, but at least he asked.

The world is rapidly filling with jackasses. My pet peeve is the fools that tie up the launch ramps while they fool around, BS with their friends/wifes as everyone else sits around waiting to launch or get off the water. It seems like the fools with Skidoos are the worse!

People on skidoos are the worst in every way. As for the Blacksmith, one thing I've been wondering, is how do people own property on National Forest land? That doesn't seem right to me. I thought it was supposed to be preserved and protected, but I guess not. I hate when you're fishing a stream and it's been good fishing. Suddenly it just drops off and things are really slow. It seems 9 times out of 10 when this happens, it's because somebody cut in front of me.

You don't own land on Nat'l forest land- you lease- but you can only put the cabin as no tresspassing not the land-
But much of that is private land and not Nat'l forest.
I used to fish the BS 3 or more times a week since the late 70's. Alas I don't anymore- I don't like crowds so I have had to change how and where I fish.

It's almost impossible to believe that some of these rude anglers are actually doing what they think is okay. There has to be some attitude going with it, realizing that most will just back off and not start an incident.
But I can sure see how that retaliation would be sweet!
The one I really love is when you're trolling along, say at Willard, close to the dike, and some bozo flies through between you and the shore hauling some skier. ARE SOME FOLKS REALLY THAT STUPID?

i thought thats what common boating safety laws were for. that happens to me ill give the one finger salute, write down reg number and call the warden. let me have some time and ill find the safe distance for a boat to pass between the shore and another boat (safe distance)

That makes sense. I just figured once you pass the sign that says "Entering Cache National Forest", that you were on forest land for the rest of the canyon. I like that river, but I'm definitely on the hunt for lesser known streams.

[font "Times New Roman"]I use to fish Logan and Blacksmith but if you want to see the most rude ignorant mean fly fisherman in the world!!!! Go try to fish Logan. Plus there is a gang [#000080]please no derogatory references by race -- Kent[/#000080] that will threaten to cut you if you try and fish the second dam on Logan on Sunday![shocked][/font]
Why did this get moved I think its a good topic on what we need to do to help promote Good Fishing Protocol

They probably poach too. Hopefully fish and game will remove the nuisance eventually. The Logan definitely gets too crowded for my tastes. I go there out of convenience between classes and work, but it's definitely not my favorite place to fish.
