Hey Dan, you should ask that question to the jackasses in their boats who show no respect to a man who is fishing in a fixed location. Casting right into your line like you aren't even there, never moving or reeling in when you hook a fish, and racing their boats just inches from where you are standing. There are miles of river, but it never fails, a guy walks down to the river to fish and the boats move right in on him, it's ridiculous. It was so much nicer to fish the Cowlitz before the fishing and hunting news media began plastering articles across every fishwrap in the Puget Sound region about how good the steelheading was. I'd like to see drift boats only from the barrier damn to Toledo.
