Well, OK, this sets up an interesting question. I can understand if I go to Blue Creek and try to float fish the point that it would not work, but Reiter is, at least in my eyes, mixed use. The fishing isn't shoulder to shoulder. If I get there first thing in the morning and am drifting, I don't think I should have to change just because 2/3rds of the anglers are using floats. Seems like if you are watching and casting in proper sequence the two techniques can exist side by side. I think I only had about 4 line tangles the whole morning, due each time to a float being cast into my line. Of course, this may be different during weekends when there are twice as many people. We were 15-20 total and had good seperation. No frayed tempers, everyone was in good spirits. I think the most important thing is to just watch the casting order and not cast until the upstream angler's lne has drifted sufficently downstream. Its all about good rhythm.
