One of the reasons that I use braided line is that it will cut off the morons lines. Earlier in the fall I was C&R silvers on the Cascade. Why people want to keep red fish is beyond me but they do up there. After I'd let 4-5 fish go 2 bubbas came over and started to crowd me out. One of them waded out and stood where the fish were laying and proceeded to cast to the far bank. I politely told him that he was standing on top of the fish and that he'd be far more successful if he got out of the water. All that got for a reply was a string of profanity from him and his buddy. I held my ground as I'm a big guy and wouldn't move. I took off my float gear and just tied on enough weight to cast. I let it drift past him and then retrieved the braid against his neoprenes. In the current the idiot never knew what was going on. After about 4 casts he came out of the water and complained to his buddy that his waders were leaking. Braid cuts neoprene just fine.
I understand that hatchery holes attract the worst behavior as they attract meat fishermen who don't really care. I have avoided the Cascade for steelhead as it's worse than it was for salmon. I much prefer a little more peace and quiet when I fish. Driving an hour and a half and having to bring my own rock to stand isn't my idea of a good time.
