From reading some other BBs, I hear a lot of complaints about crowds on certain rivers. This is an unfortunate situation, but is reality. This has happened to some rivers over here, and being mostly small streams, really dicouraged a lot of fishermen. It just made me rethink my methods a little. I found that fish that had been harrassed in holes had a tendency to move back into the tailouts where most people didn't fish. I also started to find more fish tight against cut banks, sometimes in water barely deep enough to cover their backs. Running a small plug on a short line with a high rod to keep plug only a foot or two under water will elicit vicious strikes from these fish sometimes. It gave me a lot of pleasure to fish right behind several people and catch these fish they fished over. Makes a lot of them mad, and yet they rarely came over to see what I was doing that they weren't. Just something to think about on an overcrowded stream.
