I hate to beat this thing to death but, no one including yourself should have to avoid that part of the river because the threat of violence towards yourself. This guy doesn't have the right to dictate anything. You don't want violence, thats cool, I'm with you but, look what you witnessed. Not everyone has it in them to avoid those situations. Ive personally never fished down there other than floating by in a drift boat. Its never occurred to me to walk down there and prolly never will. Reading these stories is bothersome.
The fact that people are being scared away or threatened isn't right. Sounds like whatever he's doing is working, you wont go back. Others have also openly said they would avoid that part of the river. Thats cool and all but, if wont go there because of this guy and his dogs, thats not right.
I would hope anyone going down there and having a bad experience would call it in to the proper authorities. If the stories people are posting are true?
Just saying, done!
