The only reason for me that it is better, is because of the long length of time we have had higher water. So far this year I have only been low holed a couple of times & by gear guys, not fly, but have had only 1 boat ( a guide boat) come in close enogh where I had to stop fishing & question his ancestary.
I fish Montana a lot this isnt an issue & I have been trying to think of why this is. More anglers? Knowledgable anglers? More polite, more give & take, better understanding of etiquette? Maybe it is the city? More people closer together wanting to fish? If that the case then more etquette education is needed.Also I find that the bad etiquette lessens the longer into the season you go.
Put a boat on the Beaverhead, a river the same size as the Crow, where there are lots of waders & drifters and everyone is great, happy, enjoying life & catching fish, no issues, great day, great experience.
Another thing I notice the boats dont realize how far a spey or swtch rod can throw & fly, so I'm watching for boats when I have my long rod out, I have come close to putting a streamer into boat, not knowing he was there.
