[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 366834, member: 13957"] On smaller rivers I can't imagine buzzing by some canoe since at most the paddlers are less than 40 yards away. I suppose a jetboater has to see that the coast is clear for a shallow section then commit to running it, at that point the motorized boat has control of the rapids/riffles and others will have to wait their turn should they suddenly materialize around a corner....common sense is king. I am a definitely concerned about the bank/wading fishermen, last time I was out I waited for one guy, who thankfully let me through... then stopped upstream progress for a couple of fishermen who were fishing a riffle/run and would not leave that spot. I just started fishing the pool I was waiting in and then proceeded to float back downstream and let them have the upper section. The jet motor will probably mess up fishing for a few minutes since this may have been the first time a fish has seen or heard one on this particular river, so once I scoot through a spot whoever is fishing it may be "screwed" because of scared fish. :oops: [/QUOTE]
