Respect goes both ways, There are places on the river that should be left to the bankies and places that obviosly should be left to the boats, Last winter I had a simmilar run in on the Bogie. I hiked into the tall timbers hole to find a guy anchored with bait divers in the shallows right against the shore. I believe there are certain "traffic lanes" that can allow both bank fisherman and boaters to fish the same water. Had I been in my drift boat I would have parked on the other side of the river and pitched gear to the fish. I ended up trying to fish below him but only managed one fish to shore. He had managed to monopolize a hole that was traditionally a bank fishing hole. Only a few of the late arrivers said anything to the guy, probably because of the greatly dimminished access. I am embarrassed to say but when I used to fish Blue creek in the winter \:\( you often had problems when guy's had thier sleds parked in the creek. I feel very fortunate to have a drift boat at my disposal and afford all the curtacy (spelling?) to the bank guys I can because I can cover more water.
