Remember The Golden Rule When Fishing...
Amen Brother!
Treat Others Like You Want To Be Treated!
The guide that wrote this short article on River Etiquette is dead nuts on in my book.
Most of these rules are common sense for the courteous fisherman, however not all are that smart.
Maybe the Fish and Wildlife services can post these rules in their rule books. Might be a great way to get these rules out to the masses. Especially the newbie fisherman that may be totally clueless as to the law of the land...or...ummm...water :)

"The subject of river etiquette is a touchy one. While one angler might think an action is all right, another angler could be extremely offended. The following will demonstrate some common points in the world of fishing and etiquette, dealing with both bank anglers and boaters. ...
...*For the most part, the enjoyment of fly-fishing isn't so much catching fish, it's the experience of being in the water, enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of the river, trying to trick Mother Nature. The one thing that can ruin all of that is an ignorant angler, invading upon the area and disrupting the peacefulness of the moment that the other angler is experiencing. If we all follow these general rules, and treat others as we'd like to be treated, then our fishing days will all be great, regardless of how many we catch."
