I gave up fishing the port d zoo like 20 years ago...lol...too much trouble ...doesn't sound like it's getting any better...but again..if everyone cooperates...takes thier turn casting....gets lines out when someone has a fish on ect...it saves alot of frustration when fishing in a crowd So true, as is float fishing. Myself and friends we can fish feet away from each other and never a problem. All in timing of your casts etc. One thing for sure..never get yourself into a mix of fly guys or chuck and ducks that could be the end of your day. I much rather fish water away from people than fight with uneducated anglers. Too many times I see guys standing right on top of the fish in the middle of the run. I don't know if they think that because they have waders they must be waist deep. Nothing wrong fishing a crowd as long as everyone knows what they are doing and respecting the person next to them. Couple idiots can ruin a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a war zone !!!! Most certainly do remember those days....not much changed either except the runs are not as good anymore. That river can be loaded one day and everyone hooking fish and the next day nobody hooking fish. I like the slow drift out to the lake, but its always got somebody in it.
