South Fork, July 7th, 2023

Other than the big stone fly event ( Bugs are now into the lower canyon), we had a serious incident on the river yesterday. Three anglers in a drift boat got too close to the big feeder gates and came nearly getting sucked through. They were luckily relieved of the situation by efforts from hard working first responders.

A long boating season is coming up on this big, powerful river, and the potential for unhappy incidents like this one, and worse, are bound to happen. We and all other businesses that serve boating, and wading fly fishers ask that we do as much as possible to remain safe. It is not because you are customers, it is because you have families and/or are part of the community to which and you contribute to in many ways. So please resolve in the hours before you arrive on the river that you will strive to be safe.
