Yes, there are undesirable fishermen on the bank as well as in the boats. I've fished around both of them. It just gets me riled up sometimes. There have been several times that boaters have been very cordial about offering to take me out when I've got a strong fish on. I'm very thankful for that. It's a very small percentage that actually are ruthless in their pursuit of the elusive steelhead. I fish by myself most of the time and most guys in the boats ask how far out I am fishing and they pull up and wait till they drift down river to cast out. This last weekend I lost a fish right under the bluffs in my grandma's old fishing hole and I had some guys cast right into me after that. It really irritated me, but later in the day I went downriver and caught a nice winter run with my uncle. So it ended up all-right. Good luck to everyone in their fishing expeditions going into the new year. As ole Andy up at his tackle store used to say, "Go out and rip some lip!!"
