spot on- LOVE those guys that keep fishing when someone has one on right near them.

So Lucky, I suppose you don't use any lead that most likely was purchased in Pa. What a stupid attitude towards us POS guys from PA. I just might stop picking up beer cans and DD coffee cups and start depositing my no deposit bottles and cans on the banks of YOUR river. IMO Canada sucks and I would never spend a dime in their country. I suppose you would be all for a day of the week for  New Yorkers fishing only too................sorry for the rant, but this kind of attitude is BS..........

Kieth if you do not leave cans on the river I do not think his post was pointed at you.  we are equal opportunity litter bug bashers here.  It only takes one or two folks to ruin it.  I have seen more than my fair share  of non deposit cans on the bank and folks are less likely to take them or pick them up.   If you do Thank you.   There are plenty of Redneck New yorker locals that are litterbug ****hats too
 
 
Back to the rotation thing.  It all boils down to I you were not fishing the "good seam"  would they let you in to rotate if they were there first and hooking up. 

maybe the spey guys and the sit and rotate guys need to stick to places like the dsr and tail hook jail

Again I have to say, the SR has ALWAYS had crowds.. Thing I noticed over my time is... More boats, longer rods and so called elitist (specialized) fishermen..
True rotation of a run/hole is totally out for my style of fishing, the last words above... If it ever became the mandatory then I would NEVER go back there..
Rotating in and out of a spot is fine with me and I have often offered a seat on the bench if I see someone is struggling..
The days of O'dark thirty  to get that prime spot are waning for me..
If anything, I think enforcement should be 1/2 hr before sunrise before anyone is allowed on the banks of the river..
Quite right db, PIGS come in all shapes and sizes..

its true that hogs come in all pursuasions, and all sorts of broad brush strokes have been used to paint them
also true that fishing is not the savior to the local economy and those that feel entitlement because they spend a few bucks are in the wrong
i have no idea how all of the animosity got started, i know of a few stories as to why it continues....but bottom line for me:
i am happy and thankful to have the oppertunity to fish what i consider great fish, in a great place usually with great people i have met through the years
i also try to be a good neighbor when i am up there, keeping my place up, picking up trash and supporting local buissness
guess i'm in the minority for many things, but to me its all about the time on the water and enjoying this great experience while i can still do it

Bottom line right there ..
 

Certainly there a lot of places where rotation would not work or would not be needed.  But where you have half the Drake subscribers on the east coast descending on a piece of water like LFZ, and you have people who think they own the spot all day whether they are fishing or not, it is reasonable to think that some way to share could be developed.  On the pocket water in town, it would never work, but it never seems that crowded (I don't need the insanity of September anymore).  And it would be dangerous on the right bank of the Genesee in the big hole, you need to be half mountain goat just to get along those rocks, and waders are mainly to keep you dry if it rains.  But in a pool like the refrigerator, the alternative is to just keep squeezing more guys along the beach until it is shoulder to shoulder, and that can get very ugly as well.
 
Mr Keith - EXCUUUUUUUUSSSE ME! Western NY is getting posted up as fast as PA, and I know that not all the people coming are from PA, but that is where most of the imports come from here, and NY does not sell non-returnables.  And soon there will be nowhere out here to fish except Burt and the Oak, and our little piece of the Genny, which is recently trashed with mainly no refund bottles, cans and energy drink cans, all since the steelhead came on, so you can't blame the salmon fishers, and the urban poor who come down there don't buy craft beers, and they take the cans back to get the nickels.  So if it takes high non-resident fees to get me on water on the weekend, keep it a little cleaner without me breaking my back so much for the 30+th year picking up after someone else's kid, and bolster the land acquisition fund, I'm all for it.  I don't know the entire story, but there are a lot of tribs, even on the east end, that don't get any plants anymore, possibly because of the lack of access, which may well come from the mess that was left in the past. North Sandy Creek comes immediately to mind, nothing gets stocked there  anymore, and at one time that stream was crawling with fish.
 
I lived in PA for a while and the fishers I encountered were straight ahead honest conservationists.  We knew that was changing when we met an off duty PA encon officer on the lower river snagging away (it was only legal to snag from Pineville up back then).  If you are one of the good guys, hurray, and thanks for appreciating that you have to exercise stewardship regardless of where you are, if only out of self interest (NY does not allow wading between the posted signs, and there are a lot more all the time, and JP's who might not even think about a fishing violation all take trespass quite seriously ). 
 
And I'm still using up lead I bought from before the ban, a few bags of BB's last a loooooong time.   I have yet to see a loon on the SR (at least the winged kind), and I don't use lead when I am in the 'daks. But I'm sure you switch over to tin as soon as you cross the state line.

As I said today to a guy that wanted to rotate. The only thing I'm gonna rotate is your nose to the other side of your face...keep walkin

Rotation? Google the Margaree river, NS. Atlantic salmon. They do things right up there. Rotation working on the SR. Never in a million freakin years!
 

I know I told this story before but just so happens I was reading about this guide today discussing rotating.
One morning I get to this sweet spot at O'dark thirty. I'm sitting there and just before light I see headlamps coming down the trail.
They head straight for me and the guide says " we want to make a movie and would it be ok for his clients to fish " my spot". I told him I been sitting here for awhile waiting for light to fish this spot. I would be glad to rotate ( meaning fish for a little while then rotate) with your clients if they started at the top and fished down for awhile. He said ok . Well I hooked up right away and asked if they wanted to fish here. He said no not yet. Well after catching another he for sure wanted to fish there so I moved to the top. Thing was they did not hook up and didn't want to move after planting there. I fished about an hr and then asked what happened to rotating, his response was once they caught a fish for their movie they would. I left and lost all respect for the guide.
Now what brings me back to this thread is on his website he complains that people won't rotate a run/ pool .

Like said, I'm willing to share water and when asked I do and also ask others myself. Simple answer will be yes or no. To make it a mandatory rule , I wish no part of that style of fishing myself and do not wish to fish any water that rule happens.

The problem with fishing Nova Scotia or any of the provinces is that they shut down the streams and rivers at a moments notice if the run is low.
