If you see a boat trolling in a known lake trout area, swim, anvil , Lynnwood or maybe 100 other places and they have rods instead of downriggers hanging out the side of the boat they are dragging wire. 

Save yourself and them form a headache and give them some space before cutting in behind them.

Good old common sense! And being situationally aware and not so focused on yourself is not a bad idea and can avoid problems for both boats/anglers! By the way steel line running against downriger wire with weight on it usually means lost downrigger ball!! Another reason to avoid it in the first place!

Two great comments. Thank you!!!
