yeah, launchone and them about saw me get run over by a green raft when I was anchored below the caddis riffle.  If I had not yelled at the guy, he would have slammed me and my clients.

Better be glad they didn't hit you or any of your sports, they may have tried to pump your stomachs :angel: ;D  ///?

yeah, it's a red hyde and my name is Forrest.  Nobody should have to stay out of anyone's way, clients or not.  There's enough fish and enough places to fish for everyone.  It just bothers me that people don't pay attention (guy in green raft), he was talking to ya'll and if I hadn't gotten his attention with that yell, he would have rammed us head on.  He didn't really know how to row either.  That's the watauga on the weekends though.

AMEN!! It's gettin like that thru the week too. Last time I floated it I counted 11 boats in 1 stretch! And all of them like to park right in the damned way of oncoming traffic. there's a couple of spots that once you're in the current, you cant row and hold forever, and the guy in the middle of the river looks at you like it's his God given right to anchor there. It drives me up the wall! I know it's not all guides and most guides are very accomodating to others. I try to look around as much as possible and know to keep off another boat. The river is getting way too much traffic.

I hear ya...that guy was talking to himself non-stop... He came over to our boat to take a look at our flies, asked us what we were using...all the while mumbling to himself about the wooly bugger hatch....I dunno, that yell of yours was really funny.....although not as funny as Ditch with the ass hooked stocker that took out 30 ft. of line....what a wuss. Anyhow, nice to know you Forrest, look forward to seeing you again. Are you guiding for yourself or another outfitter?
