A courteous anglers will always give another angler space, even if he is on a good spot.

I stopped fishing the Delaware River in Worthington State Forest not because the fishing isn't any good, it is. I stopped fishing there because there were too many inconsiderate people pissing me off every time I went there in the summer.

One time I was catching walleye in a pool while standing on a rock in the river. Some foreigners saw me catching fish from the pool but couldn't access the pool because of the steep, brushy banks. To my surprise, they walked out to the rock and saddled up right next to me. They were literally rubbing up against me! I couldn't believe it. I was seriously considering taking off all my clothes to see if they would get uncomfortable enough to leave. Nobody in their right mind would fish next to a naked man.

The other issue with Worthington State Forest are the thousands and thousands of rental canoes and kayaks constantly drifting down river. People will constantly beach their boats and get out right where you are fishing.

I once threw rocks at somebody at Round Valley Reservoir. I was fishing from the shore in shallow water in the back area of the reservoir by the fence. Some people in a boat with a trolling motor were trying to fish the shoreline, but all they were really doing is spooking all the trout by running that big boat through the shallow water. When they finally ran over my line, I picked up small stones and started throwing them around their boat.

The guys started yelling, "Hey,this guy thinks he owns the reservoir..."

No, I don't own the reservoir, but this guy has 1000 acres to cover with his boat. I'm just a guy standing on the shoreline with 50 feet of line out. Don't run over my line!
