Part of the issue is in decker creek itself. The creek splits into 3 channels at the mouth, most people are staying in the bigger channel on river left, problem is that channel takes you down to a blind corner that has immediate wood and brush along the banks, hard to get thru and wasn't really rowable. 3 boats have gone down there this season, REALLY bad way to start the day.

Much more of the problem lies in that some people are out of pocket on their real level of experience and choose to float things that they should 1. Get out and look at closer or 2. Get out and walk.
Zero shame in either.
