Stream Etiquette

[mike b.]

On Sunday I was fishing one of my favorite streams.  I started working a nice run of feeding trout when I felt the presence of someone watching.  I looked and saw this character moving towards my run…with about 50 associates in tow.  As a true gentleman angler, I gave up the hole, and moved to another part of the stream.

We get along fairly well with the elk…but it pays not to get in the middle of the crowd.

You should have thrown rocks in there first.

Ha.

I have that same problem with dolphin.  I’ll be fishing a nice flat and they will just move in like they own the place.  They just have no respect for proper etiquette.  I’ve even had one try to take a speckled trout right off my line.  And then, of course, you can always go up in the creeks and meet up with one of these guys.  They just have no respect for anything.

Same thing has happened to me out west with a billy goat of some kind.  Next thing I know this thing is right up on me munching away.   I was out front of our camp too.

Cool thread, y’all.

Mark what you have there is a Mountain sheep. Fun to see and not near as skiddish as a goat.

Patrick I was wondering if you would have a beer picture for us or not! I have seen lot of picutures over the years with big bears in fly fishing pictures from Alaska. I have to say I am a little surprised that this picture just has a little black bear and not some big Kodiak or Grizzly! 😮 I guess you will just have to work on that for us! 😉

Welcome to the board by the way. I have enjoyed your posts so far! How far are you from Anchorage?

[Joel Thompson]

No matter how small that bear is, it’s a better picture than my billygoat/mountain sheep or whatever the hell it was.

This guy tried to push me out of my run last night.

[Mark Landerman]

I hate it when they try to push you out of your spot.
