@skyriver that's a great callout. I've always been very much a traditionalist and convention and very much believe in river etiquette to the best of my understanding of it.
The river has numerous guided large 20 ft + jet sleds with 200hp whatevers. They are primarily fish from the boat type of people.
It's not a great river for road fishing and I want to be able to just put in, zip up or down to a piece of water where I can beach it, fish a run and load back up and find another run or head back to the boat ramp where I put in.
I've been low-holed and had boats fish right over the top of my line and I don't like it. I understand gear guys don't understand the spey conventions and it's more frustrating when it's spey guys.
I think abiding by etiquette is paramount importance because I would like to make sure that I lead by example on the river with etiquette.
