Looking Forward To Another Good Time On The Salmon

Good luck on that, with all the reports it is a mad house of buttheads up there this year.
Things I have seen so far other than out and out ripping with meat poles:  
Guys forming no pass lines across the river trapping fish  from coming up
Guy throwing large rocks in a pool to scare out fish.
Guy chasing fish down small trib trying to grab it, no pole in hand.
Guy holding large net in choke point of trib that was less than 6 feet wide,  trying to net fish coming in.
Guys herding and chasing fish ripping away when they get a chance. 
I have seen at least 3 treble hooks in fish so far this year.
And of course
catching a fish leaving it there to die
Snagging the  limit taking them to your car and coming back
Leaving trash everywhere
and my favorite
Drunken A $ Z wipes treating the river as an excuse to drink, and place to get drunk and raise hell.  Show a little respect.   Drink in a bar or at home.  If your wife does not allow you to drink at home  there is a reason for it,  behavior usually does not get better after a few drinks and neither do fishing or swimming skills.
End of my rant

I have no problem with someone having a beer.  As you note, there are those who abuse same, and they spoil it for everyone.  The same conduct you've described is exactly what I'm talking about.  I'm hoping to be able to fish between the idiots. 
 
 

I was up there this week and had this guy who thought he knew us just come in and stand not 2ft for me I have seen him a few times over the yrs but not friends I told him to give me some room and all he did was laugh and said that it was a free river  well some words were exchange and after a little bit of coking fr some other people he left but said I know what car you drive (I drive a truck) the next day he came back and apoligised for his action to many beers  I dont care if your drunk dont use it as an excuse   I came close to just dropping him and roling it in the river.  but aside from that we had a good time

ill be up the 6-9th and 20 and 21...can't wait :)
 

Gotta say even the Russians I met mid river were decent and polite. Yea they were snagging and lifting but then its Follies season and 95% of everyone else out there was doin that too. It is what it is. Cmon November.

x3 for my too guy's.   Even with my rant I can take the snagging.   Been there done that trying something new now. It's the outright poor sportsmanship that I can't take.
