I know I'm old and grouchy, my wife told me so. But there have been a couple of incidents recently that kind of got sand in my grits. The first was a bunch of rental fun float tuber crowding me and floating right through the middle of a bunch of rising trout. It was probably a good thing I didn't have any long pointed poles with me. I figured they were a bunch of uneducated tourist whose mama didn't raise them right, even though most appeared to be middled aged women. But yesterday, I have most of my 3/4 mile of river to myself until two guys spinning fishing from tubes come up right behind me, go around and then start fishing a little more than 50 ft. down stream from me on the same side. Personally if I go around someone I try to give them a good amount of stream that I have not fished before working the same side they are working.

I know we have had this conversation, not that long ago. So you can take this as part vent and also a honest inquiry into others opinion.
