Without a doubt the gear guys do significantly better than the fly angler and generally the boat anglers do better than the shore anglers regardless of the gear type. Forcing folks to fish from the bank regardless of whether gear or fly would reduce the catch (just fish that can not be effectively reach. With the popularity of personal watercraft, fishing with floats and jigs/beads/worms not sure forcing the Sauk boat anglers to the bank would buy a lot of relief and suspect it would actually increase the interactions between the gear and fly anglers.
