Hey Fish head, Those guides in the sleds are there for one reason, MONEY!!! They could care less if they screw up a fishing hole for a bankie or another driftboat. Some times if your lucky they will acknowledge your presence by glaring at you as they go by If I was a client on their boat I would certainly be embarrassed. There are some very good local guides that float the rivers and understand river etiquette, Their clients learn that the river can be shared by all.
