It is not as simple a question as how far. There are a lot of factors that you should keep in mind when determining how far. Sometimes, well within casting range is acceptable (like rockfishing), and sometimes you need to give much wider distances (you are both dragging flylined macks, or fancasting irons). Even if you are not fishing, and just passing by, you should give the other fisherman the room you would want if you were casting an iron or flylining a mack (if those are types of fishing that occur in the area).
