Heading up the Cumberland river w/ my wife in my jonboat and I come across a section with flyfishermen wading all the way across the river. Now I'm up on plane in very shallow water and I can't slow down or I'll bottom out, so what do I do... I turned around and went back down river. No problem, I had plenty of river to fish and feel like I did the right thing. For future reference, do you think it is okay to motor past some guys in the river (at 18-20mph), if there is adequate room to pass through them safely? I don't make much of a wake but i'll definately spook the fish? What's the right thing to do? I guess if they were between me and my tow, I wouldn't really have a choice...
