Had a guy do a total meltdown on me on Deckers once. I think some people who have issues are prescribed to take up fishing to relax. For some people they just change the location of their problem, not the problem.
harmels hates us up there, i run that all the time and everytime they are all mean and pissy. the funny thing about it is they don't know anything about fishing because if they knew about fish they would know that they are very teritorial and will alway go back to the same spot, i was in salida yesterday at the upper play hole and a guy fisihing there caught a fish in the eddy i was sitting in and he said he catchs them all the time. so screw you harmels!

dude, fuck harmels and there fucking gay ass private homeowner group. those people cannot seem to understand the fact that the water is NOT their property. ive been harrassed going through there without even touching the banks.
that being said, im not that surprised this happened. most (99%) of the fishermen i see on the taylor are super chill, but once in a while you do get a jackass who thinks he owns the river. i think as long as theres no interaction then just dont worry, like rdnek says, throw a few loops in his hole of choice and be on your way. but if there is interaction, then i think a reaction ala caverdan is in order. i sure know if someone ever did that to me their ass would be toast.
It's not just kayaking. Knowing the West side of Rabbit Ears is totally set aside for non-motorize winter travel, there's people that intentionally cross country ski on the east side of pass where snowmobiling is allowed and scream and yell and flail there arms and poles when you ride past them.
Same thing while dirt biking, I've had city folks of mountain bikes TRY to yell at me for riding my dirt bike on jeep trails a mile from my house when they had no idea what trail they were on or what it was designated for.
Some people think what they are doing is just that much more important than everyone else. And when they are in the wrong, which they usually are, those people need their asses chewed out everytime anyone gets the chance.
And the guy with the fish hook...shoving his fishing pole up his ass and hanging him feet first from a riverside tree will do.

Been up to Rabbit Ears many times backcountry skiing on the legal west side and can't even tell you how many snowmobile tracks go right by the off limits signs. It's a joke up there. Seems some of those 'bilers just can't resist some of that open terrain we snobby backcountry skiers like to ski.
As for skiing on the east side, why the fook would anyone even want to do that except to piss off the motorized crowd?

There is just too much tension betewwen the fly fishing property owners and the boater expressing their right to use the river.
When this battle somes it'll be the most important access fight in the nation. Chris Kelly
oh you will. the times only comes out on thurs....that happened on what, sun, mon? if its a slow news week here in the g spot then it might just make front page too. the reservoir filling up did, and i personnally didnt think that was THAT big of deal.....
actually, according to 9news
"The incident was reported to deputies on July 17."
so it should have made last weeks edition, maybe they will pick it up this week. this person ought to be brought to justice, although now it is probably too late.
