| Fishing etiquette, sometimes I have to wonder | | | | their children. Then the interrogation |
| if anyone's ever heard of such a thing. | | | | started. What are you using? How big was |
| The word etiquette is defined as: The forms | | | | that fish? Do you always catch fish here? |
| required by good breeding, or prescribed by | | | | |
| authority, to be observed in social or | | | | This is what I'm talking about when I speak |
| official life; observance of the proprieties | | | | of fishing etiquette. When I'm out on the |
| of rank and occasion; conventional decorum; | | | | river, and I'm sure most people would agree, |
| ceremonial code of polite society.So why is | | | | I want to relax, enjoy nature, and if I can |
| it that as soon as I get on a river, I | | | | mange it, catch a few fish. I don't need to |
| invariably end up fishing near someone who | | | | give a fishing lesson to anyone. And, as far |
| has never heard the above definition? It | | | | as I'm concerned, no one needs to give one to |
| seems as if as soon as people get into a | | | | me. If I see you on the river and you catch |
| fishing situation, all rules of society are | | | | a nice fish, good for you. I might give you |
| thrown out the window and it becomes a free | | | | a thumb's up or something, but that's all the |
| for all. I mean it says, right in the | | | | information we need to exchange.I've never |
| definition, 'ceremonial codes of polite | | | | understood why people think that if a fish is |
| society'. When it comes to fishing, | | | | caught out of a spot, that's the only place |
| especially on a river, one of those | | | | on a given stretch of water that contains |
| 'ceremonial codes of polite society' is to | | | | fish. And the spot or area that they're |
| allow other anglers there personal space just | | | | fishing doesn't! That's the only explanation |
| as you would afford them in any other social | | | | as to why these two guys muscled up on me |
| situation. I mean, for God's sake, just | | | | like a bully on the smaller kids in the |
| because were out on the river fishing it | | | | schoolyard. They had to think that they had |
| doesn't mean that we have to become complete | | | | a better chance of catching a fish where I |
| inconsiderate idiots, does it?I'm of course | | | | had just caught a fish than where they were |
| referring to a situation that I got caught up | | | | originally fishing. And just to clear the |
| in, not too long ago, on one of my local | | | | air, this is not the case. It's a fallacy, |
| rivers. I had been fishing along a very nice | | | | and this kind of behavior needs to stop.Give |
| stretch of water for about twenty minutes, | | | | other anglers the space they need to fish |
| when a couple of other fishermen came walking | | | | when you're out on the river. Using a little |
| along the river. They kept there distance as | | | | fishing etiquette out on the water will make |
| we exchanged friendly glances, and they began | | | | our sport better for all of us. As I eluded |
| fishing about fifty yards from where I | | | | to earlier, just afford people the same |
| was.This is how things are supposed to work | | | | courtesy you would on a busy elevator. Just |
| when two anglers meet on a river. But then I | | | | because were standing in a river, it doesn't |
| caught a fish. Then another one and this | | | | mean we can't practice basic etiquette.Trevor |
| second fish was quite nice. A nice eighteen | | | | Kugler - Co-founder of Trevor has more than |
