True story: I fished an area visible to the road, about 100 yards from 6 or 8 people on a river bank. I caught a red salmon. Within 10 minute all the fishermen in sight had slowly moved in and crowded me. Twice, my line was crossed and snagged with other lines. I packed up my fish and moved to the exact location (now barren of fishermen) that the others had moved from. Within a few minutes, I caught another salmon. ten minute to complete the same scenario. I again packed up and went back to my original spot. History repeated itself until my last move, when I packed up my limit of five and headed to the truck. By the time I left, the fishing crowd had doubled. The cap on the story is that I drove about two miles down river. I hiked in about 1/4 mile to the same river. With no one in sight, I caught a half dozen rainbows and dollys, 2 bigger than the reds, while releasing another limit of reds.. All the rainbows were released. This was back in the late 70's
Bottom line: most people had, have, and always will have a herd mentality.
