With what you said I would think both are wrong to some extent.  He was definately wrong for not getting out of your way.  That is just common courtesy.  When fishing in a crowd when someone hooks up ya gotta give them some room to work or they won't do the same for you. 

To his defense though you shouldn't have been fishing in a crowded area with such light gear.  Do what you want when you have a lot of room to land a fish.  When you fish crowded areas make sure you use gear up to the task of landing fish in a timely manner.  I know I get really frustrated when someone ties up a hole for a long time because he is using too light of gear. 

I enjoy watching people catching fish also but I don't get up really early, drive multiple hours just to watch people fish.  I don't know anyone who does either. 

When you fish in a crowd use the right gear.  WHen you fish by yourself do what you want.  Always give someone fighting a fish the right of way no matter how long it takes.

I am with klickman on this.  There is places to use light gear and places not too.  If its a crowded fishery then dont use light gear.

I am guilty of light gear, but have been converted by some "fly purists" as they tell me going heavier is better on the fish if you have to release them. Get 'em quick less trauma, but when I have the jet boat running I have one light set up for fun.

Thats why I drift right on by the combat holes, of course there are guides in boats that act as though the river belongs to them as well, but for the most part when anyone on a boat raises a net most get out of the way and let them drift by.
