There is no right answer. In the last few years the river traffic has grown exponentially. You can't stop it. Part of the problem is the NET, the other population growth.

A few years ago, on the Sauk/Skag, river etiquette was top notch. Now it has gone to shi@t. This year I was corked by guides three times, and private parties numerous times. I have just learned to grit and grin.

If you feel comfortable pulling over and fishing the opposite bank then do so, just as long as you don't mind if it happens to you.

Good luck,
