One of the most ridiculous assumptions that you can make in fly fishing is that everyone is going to be just as considerate and respectful as you.

But (and more importantly) I also talk about how we can communicate, be courteous, and do a lot to  diffuse potential conflicts on the water. And at the end of the day, this potentially puts the impetus on the person being "wronged." After all, etiquette is just that - it isn't the law.
