Henry’s Fork, August 20th, 2022

The number of recreational floaters is increasing on every section of the river. Weekends bring these folks out “en masse” at certain locations They can cause particular problems at boat launch sites because they have yet to develop an etiquette protocol, so be understanding at these locations and on the stream. When reasonable recreationists are encountered, try explaining to them the bases for developed launching and debarking manners as well as for keeping polite distances away from active anglers. These folks, too, have a right to enjoy the river, but they also have an obligation to others to do so in a considerate manner.
