hey, I have an idea. If you don't like seeing boats then go fish the Lyre. I fish both on the bank and also in my boat. I find that 99 % of both bankies and boaters are very courteous. Treat them right and they treat you right. I can say that on my last 3 or 4 floats on the oly Pen
I have only seen maybe 2 or 3 bankies. And you know what, they all said good morning and we talked fishing for several minutes.
