bank fishing vs. boat

[reservoir_dog]

I feel your frustration. I have had the same thing happen at Chesterfield too. Catching fish from my tube only to have boats (yes plural) start trolling smaller and smaller circles around us. I have had people in boats block me into a hole in the trees at Twin Lakes too. A couple times recently at Edson Fichter pond in Poky, I have had people come right up next to me on the docks while I was casting my fly line over their heads, and start fishing right beside me as if it was totally cool, without even saying hello! I feel the angst, and feel the need to do something, but what can be done that doesn't make us look bad too? Maybe this is why I delight so much in catching fish after fish right in their faces, laughing and enjoying myself, because when they step up and can't catch a thing, they get frustrated and leave.
