You said nobody got tangled so who cares! And to have a hole on the upper snoq to yourself is very rare during peak steelhead periods. So although it sucks when you have a hole to yourself and someone else moves in, he gave you 20ft. On most rivers your lucky if ya get 5 feet these days. As for A-holes, well there everywhere. And as for fishermen well many of them think certain water is special to them and only them. Heck, I'm a victim of this attitude occationally. But deffinetly not the snoqualmie. And as far as crossing lines, as long as nobody gets tangled your all fishin'. Just wait a week or two, you'll be lucky if ya have 20ft on the snoq at most productive drifts. Its when someone corks ya' on a small river with no room for extra lines it totally untolerable. As one old timer once said to me as I asked if it was cool to fish below him "Nobody owns the river." Its always alot nicer when someone asks rather than just corkin ya. All you can do is move or deal with it.
