That's not being a good sport, is it?
...
I might be mistaken, but wasn't it not more than five years ago you had campers sitting in one of the more favorable spots, waiting in the dark for days to get that special spot??
And now guess what, they come over with their buddies, and thier buddies bring their buddies and before you know it, that one slick is covered in line and weights from their lack of knowing the flow, and ruined for the season.
just my thoughts

LOL! Ummm...
Nope. While I did know those folks, and did fish a fair bit with them while they were over, in no way was I in on the decision as to where they parked their campers. As for them bringing back their buddies and so on, again, wrong. That particular crew has only been back once since then, and didn't fish the hole in question.
I do agree that the area gets littered with abandoned gear by those who really don't know how to fish it. But find that is more a result of visiting anglers from much closer to home, ie: chiefly Islanders.
My rant was focused on another area entirely, and a couple of out-of-town ladz (small case intentional) that have decided they "
own" it. And while this does happen on a semi-regular basis here, making it a daily event is just a tad disturbing. There is a lot of river here, a lot to explore, but permanently parking on one of the better spots, to the exclusion of all others (not simply locals) is indeed "
Not being a Good Sport" in any sense of the word.
Sign of the times methinks. With opportunities becoming more and more limited everywhere, pressure is developing every and anywhere the possibility of hooking something exists. Just wish I didn't have to witness the results in my own back yard I guess. And one of the reasons I have, over the past couple of years, begun frequenting other, lesser known systems far more than the overly crowded Stamp.
