I think the appropriate thing for this gentlemen to do would have been to
get back in above you and fish the whole thing through, if he wanted to hit
the riffle again.
Most courteous fishermen wouldn't even consider stepping in below someone,
without asking.
Of course you could have swung your Green Butt Skunk right into his green
butt. (note, on a bright, clear day like Sunday you probably weren't using
a Green Butt Skunk...but it sounds funny)
Tight lines.

Subject: Report and what would you do
OK I decided to hit the Sky on Sunday afternoon for 5 hours or so. I didn't
have high hopes with the clear water and bright sunny sky but hey it was
better then sitting at home. Well long story short. I fished for 5 hours
and nothing. The Sky hasn't been too kind to me this winter. 2 fish
briefly hooked. One at the end of February in IRS and one last Sunday
evening at the head of Buck Island.
Has anyone done any good on the sky.
Well here is my what would you do. I got a little bent on Sunday on the
river and I want to know if I have the right to be. I walked into IRS since
there was no one there when I drove up but by the time that I got there a
pontoon boat had come in. Fair enough if I get beat to a run I get beat.
The guy was sitting just down below the riffle so I went way up high to give
him plenty of room and started fishing. I worked down and he worked down.
He got to the bottom of the run and started to walk back up so thought OK I
will make my pass now. To my surprise he jumped back in the run below me in
the riffle. I follow the idea that I don't own the run if I was there
first. I work my way down the run and then when done I wait my turn to take
another pass. This guy seemed to think that he owned the run. Am I wrong
here. I decided that I have enough stress in my life so I didn't confront
him and went on down river.
