On our way back we noticed no one there so we checked the spot out. Fishing for about 15 minutes and we hear about 15 people coming closer to us. All of a sudden a stereo comes on. Someone yelling at their kids to stop going near the water, a dog barking and running around. Then they sit 6 feet behind us. Next thing I know one guy starts fishing 2 feet away from me, and his buddy starts fishing 2 feet away from my friend. Their daughter throwing sticks and rocks into the water, and their dog awimming on the water as well. This guy goes on to tell me how he hillbilly handfished a "monster whitefish" at that spot a couple days ago. I cannot stand arrogant people like them. We were there first, they should move on, where's the etiquette? If this guy didn't out weigh me and out number my friend and I, I'm pretty sure I would've thrown his gear into the river. We left after 5 minutes of being at that spot with them. It was terrible. I cannot wait to go camping at wabamun to get away from idiots like them. Anyone else have some horrible fishing experiences?

"Etiquette" is defined under the wildlife act,section 47 I think. Don't be afraid to evoke it.
