Just my two cents worth. I have always fished from a drift boat and do not have a fish finder. I like sneaking up on my fish. I have been on say the N fork of the lewis along with many power boats. One day I was fishing a hole that many boats just pass up. I was haveing a very good day untill a power boat went by than the bite went off. I moved in to a lower hole that was empty of other boats got a fish in that hole also. Once again a power boat moved in and the bite was gone. Please believe that I have nothing against power boats (we all need to fish) But I do believe that noise has alot to do with the bite. KEEP THE RIVERS CLEAN!!!
