East side salmon fishing 10/1

[WEEZER]

Did some river fishing this afternoon and let me tell you they are JUST starting to come into the east side rivers. Landed a couple of super bright chins and an awesome 15" brown!!!
All in all I had a good day but I'll admit I was pissed off most of the day for various reasons relating to other users of the river!
Sorry about not naming the river! People who have been with this site and other fishing sites for a while probably already know!!!

What happened WEEZER, where they casting over your line?

[WEEZER]

No! I only ran into 6 fisherman all day .
When I hit my second access point for the day there was at least 30 bikers drinking beer and throwing bottles and trash all over the place! (I'll probably clean up that mess Tommorow)
The worst thing was a group of 4 "anglers". When I first hears them coming up river I thought "No way these guys are fishing" they were yelling and making all kinds of noise! then they approached me and made fun of me a little!(I was basically crawling along the banks trying no to spook the 10 or so salmon I had been watching for a 1/2hour..) THen they started throwing bass style spinnerbaits at them whilie standing three feet from me!!!!!
I got up and hauled **** upriver trying to get some distance between us. when I thought I had some room to work(About 200yards through the woods!) I cam across another redd and started to watch them to develop a plan of attack! THe whole time I could hear those guys yelling and screaming down river!
I had just began to make some cast when I heard one of the guys yell "Hey there must be a bunch of fish up here!!!!!!!!!" within 30 seconds the four jerks were again casting into my pod of fish!!!
That's when WEEZER hit 10 on his pissed off scale!!!(just ask Ladykiller what happens when WEEZER hits anywhere above 8 on that scale.) I told them guys to make upo their #$#$%^# minds where they were going and stop following me. I had no problem after that but I sure do feel bad for all the landowners in the area trying to bowhunt! those guys were very loud and very direspectful!!!!!
Here's the real kicker! we all were tresspassing by walking the land. I have had many conversations about that with the landowners! They have said that they don't mind as long as their land doesn't get to trashed . Bet those guys will start to enforce the tresspass law if they have screaming snaggers running all over the place wrecking the deer hunting!!!!!!
Well back on the river Tommorow....Looks like rain! I can bet I won't see those guys!

WEEZ, you are starting to get me pissed off from hearing this story and I wasn't even there. Have had similar experiences myself while fly fishing. People come wading down the river sounding like an elephant is running throught the water and will practically take you head off with a cast as they walk by. No courtesy at all.

time to test the new hunter and fishing harassment laws, it looks like they were a bunch of anti's if you ask me?

[WEEZER]

I don't really think they were anti's! It's over now . Hopefully I won't run into those punks again!
I'm going to retrieve some of their treble hooks out of the trees today and make some ice fishing gaffs....LOL (Ok, their treble hooks weren't really that big, but pretty darn close!!!!!!
