First, I don't steelhead fish in Idaho because I hate combat fishing. But they first mistake in my humble opinion is you guys acted like you owned the hole. Take your stuff with you if you're not actively fishing for any reason. Yes even if it's to eat dinner 20 ft away. Not OK ever to reserve the water by leaving your stuff there. Reminds me the behavior of those back east that remove snow from the street to park and then leave a lawn chair in a public parking spot when they leave telling others they don't have a right to it. I personally wouldn't of fished the hole but probably mumbled to myself something about the idiots who think the own the river. Nothing personal but you asked so I gave my honest opinion. Both sides behavior does reinforce why I salmon and steelheed fish in less crowded places.
