I agree with BK, it's common curtesy to give people room and respect. Down here if I see someone freedrifting a run I just let them have it and move on. There are people out there that are just learning, but for those that are just @ssholes you'd better watch behind you because short cocking will get you nothing but serious embarassment, because I will follow you all around all day and fish water behind you and bang fish... Then after a while you'll be yelling quit following me!!!
Remember first water gets you nowhere, yeh you might catch that bomb that's laying there about to go off, that bites anything. Who cares if the water is low and clear, take your time and you will see better results. Think about it, if there are 8 steelhead in one hole and someone races ahead of you and is in a hurry, is he going to catch more than 1-2 of them. Most likely not because everytime he has a boat coming down pushing him he moves.
