Thats the way you may have interpreted the thread but the question was legitimate in asking what is proper etiquette with river rafters.
[quote PBH] Every single one of us knows that when the weather gets hot, the rubber hatch shows up. So, if that is a problem, why do you continue to go to the location of the rubber hatch? The solution to your problem is: go somewhere else. [/quote]
Your problem lies in your assumptions. You assume Im flocking were the rubber hatch spawns. Or that Im not willing to share the river with others. Im fully aware the river is a public place if you were able to fully comprehend my post. The were scenarios I posted were individuals that have directly infringed on my right to share the river. So again the question is what is proper etiquette to deal with these scenarios. [/quote]
[quote PBH] So, go somewhere else. Change your own attitude. Expect things to happen on popular waters, and deal with it. [/quote]
As far as not frequenting high pressure areas
I did go some were else I rarely fish were the masses fish I know the rubber hatch shows up on the LP, and Devil Slide area but the scenario Ive mentioned where I had a group jump in the river literally not even 10 feet from me was on the blue ribbon section in Hoytsville, another time on the green, and lastly I had boaters run over my lines while floating Willard. So according to you everyone should find a new spot ?? LOL

complaining about other users of our public resources really doesn't gain us anything. It certainly does give us a much deserved "snob" stereotype.
Again you fail to understand my post when is asking a question complaining ??? I have to laugh
