I agree that the best way to handle it is politeness if that's
all you can manage -- but friendliness a la rw above is even
better. There's always other pools to fish. If we fishermen
start "reacting" to the rest of the public, that'll be the
fastest way to get water in "busy" places closed to fishing,
and it'll be one more notch in the anti's campaign against
blood sports.

"blood sport" would be a perfect description of what kind of activity
someone who tossed a stick into a pool where james macdonald roberts was
fishing would become engaged in, and right away.

not that that's a *good* thing...
