I hate combat fishin! I can hardly stand it when I even see another person on the river. I have many times left a productive stretch of water and went trout fishing because I felt crowded. Even if there was only one other guy than myself. I gues it just depens on what kind of mood Im in. Thats why I stay in the C&R water most of the winter. I fish a couple of productive places where I rarely see another person. But there is a lot of walking involved. But the walking is worth it when there are no boats, roads,or other people.
