I can say I'm a fisherman of shore, Driftboat and sled. But it really comes down to water height and time of year. If its summer runs and the river is low well I'll do the best I can to stay off the fish and away from the bankies, but safety comes into issue. I'm not going to beach my sled or suck rocks into my impeller over a bank fisherman and if I were bank fishing and a sled came through I wouldn't expect him to either. But do the best you can and personally I'd rather see a sledder go all out with little wake than acting like a tug.
