Ok, someone learn me up on this one... What is the "fly reel spooled with mono"..... I am feeling pretty out of the loop about now...
I almost never use a fly rod, I run my flies on mono and have always does well, unless you are fishing really big water there's no need. A guide in Oregon showed me a really slick tandem setup where the larger top fly acts as a "bobber", giving you greater casting ability while using a bead head on the bottom.
wow, you could read the first post and know it was going to end up going this route. Etiquette is all that is lacking, the message is loud and clear. If you are floating over their lines, and running their water, you are an *censored*. Its pretty plain and simple. If you make an effort to avoid spooking fish or disturbing people's water I find that 99% are courteous. The less you know about it Ray, the more possible it is that you were in the wrong and just thinking that everyone else is a jerk. In reading your whole story that is what sticks out to me.Like jackelope said, there are bad apples in every crowd, how you deal with it is your own perogative but there are plenty of great waters without the hassel of dealing with idiots.

If you are on a narrow river and somebody is parked in the middle, the best you can do is to go around as quietly as possible, and give them as much room as possible. The river needs to be shared and an understanding an etiquette displayed by both boats.

Where abouts is this etiquette listed, I am pretty new to the river boat thing and I have never read anything about how to act while enjoying my time on the river, don't sound like I could have a real good time if I am constantly worried about how other fisherman want me to act.
It is too bad that folks think they own the river actually I think I own the river but I don't mind sharing !!
