As many people as I seen on the upper river I was surprised how nice everything looks. It was hard to beleive there was that many people in and out of there.
As far as the lower river, everyone I've seen sticks to the gravel bars and haven't seen any "damage" to the riparian zones.
I'm sure the locals would love to shut this fishery down. Then they could sneak down and have it all to themselves.
It would be kind of unnerving to have that many people traipsing around that close to your home.
