I've got to confess... I probably "low holed" someone the other day I was out on the river with my wife. I was pulling out of Paradise Beach to go attack it from the other side. My wife was fishing nymphs under an indicator, doesn't wade to well and was not being successful hitting the slot from the beach side. We passed a guy going in as we were pulling out to move. I gave him a situation status of the river as I left it but I failed to mention we were moving to the far side of the River.
When we got to the other side, he was up high on the riffle. We moved in about halfway through the run just were the slot gets deep on the River Right bank. We had a gear fisher up stream of us and one farther down stream as well.
The guy moved quickly down through the riffle (really fast in my opinion) started to move down around us, saw the down stream gear guy and then kind of stormed off at a fast clip. I felt bad as I realized he was counting on swinging the whole run. My wife fishes slow so she was content to thoroughly saturate the water in front of her.
I'm used to fishing with nymphs and not used to thinking about a guy swinging flies... I'll try to learn from this...
Often wrong, seldom in doubt!
