I hate to say it, and I don't want to label a whole group as it isn't all of them, but I think some of those who make their living on the river lose sight of everything except getting a good tip.
There are also the "old boys" --- those who have fished the river for ages and feel they have grandfathered rights to some spots.
And there are the "purists" .... those that think there is only one way to fish "properly" and want to outlaw anything else. Or just leave nice "love" notes for you.
The good thing is all of those are really a very small percent of the fishermen. Unfortunately they seem to be 90% of the rude and vocal minority. I wish I could say it will get better, but I doubt it. The more popular an area gets .... the more jerks show up.
Best to ignore all of them.
Or show them how to be properly courteous, after you ram them with the special reinforce bow you had installed, by waving politely as you jet on by.... j/k [angelic] [laugh][laugh]
