looks like you're figuring it out pretty quick there, i just wish i could get on the water this year

I been very blessed with a skill that helps me pick up huntin and fishin In places fairly quick but also the common courtesy and respect I learned from my parents toward and person has help me achieve and gain help from some of the other locals teaching me and showing me how to river fish properly and effectively

That's what one of the guys I met told me to. Don't want to be the guy float fishin while everyone is drifting and learn a little River fishin etiquette like down stream man casts first

Don't forget the different methods have different etiquette ether.  Fly fishermen start at the top and cast swing and step down and repeat. It is poor etiquette to step in below them, worse to do it and then just stand in one spot.

But you should be well served know different methods, best of luck.

Don't be afraid to fish behind the water whippers ... I've caught fish behind them on several occasions! I'm not afraid to give them first water

As long as they're not to slow working their way down it usually works pretty well.

That rule is generally true for fishing through a run with any kind of gear (or at least it used to be). It is normally the best way to work through a piece of water. Obviously I'm not talking about terminal areas where everyone has to just camp on a particular spot.

Completely agree with both,  generally we a fishing in different parts of the water column.  If you see a fly guy fishing nymphs, they fish in more of a gear like manner and don't move.  Additionally, you should always as the first person in the pool if you can join them.  While flying I'll ask if they (angler) are moving through, if the say yes ask if I can go above.  If for some reason they say no (not working through) I'll ask about below them.  I have never in 25ish years say no.  It reminds me of Muzzy and stick and string guys in the field, most are very considerate.
