Not 99.9% of people, no.
Doesn't hurt to be seen from a distance at this time of year though, as long as it's not by the trout.
Heard some shots in the distance, so rural folk were practicing at least.

I thought that the big smiley would have clued that I was mostly joking.
I wasn't concerned going out there or I wouldn't have gone. I did wear orange though so that anyone that I'd encounter would see me coming. Didn't need camo for fishing.
I was far more concerned of wandering through someone's active area and screwing it up for them. Was scanning the tree tops for anyone harnessed in but seemed unlikely as the sporadic tree line that covered parts of the river was never more than 50 yards wide. Saw no one.

Making a drive, and suddenly, some in our group came across 3 Hmong guys, with rifles, in full camo, during deer season. They were on private property, and had no sense of property rights, didn't think we could tell them to leave. This was right after that Hmong guy shot the hunting group in western WI a few years back. We just got out the woods, and back to the truck as quickly as we could, and called the game warden. The game warden found their cars, and was waiting for them, and cited them/confiscated their weapons, since they were breaking several laws. But I don't think anything major ever happened to them.

Hadn't even thought of running into something like that, but once again, to my benefit if they see me coming so they can avoid me if they are poaching and know that they are poaching.
The areas of the stream that I'm going to are less than 100 yards from county roads and often less than 30, so unlikely, but anyway...

Re: USCHO Outdoors: The Fishing and Hunting Thread
Here's something I don't know about hunting though...
Would hunters generally avoid river and stream areas so that they're target couldn't end up in the water should it be able to run a bit?
Was watching a bow hunting show a couple days ago and the kill shot was so perfect that the buck didn't even lurch - just fell right over. Obviously that's the goal, but doesn't always happen.
