The problem is very few dogs that I have seen on the rivers are well trained.

No one would mind if your dog wasn't barking, getting tangled in our gear and being a nuisance.

There was a big black mongrel on the Tolt that would snap at our lures on the back cast. I never saw him hooked in the mouth, but it’s a miracle he wasn't. He was hooked in the fur several times. He also would eat our bait, if given the chance. His owner thought it was funny.

Kids, dogs and, fishing buddies can all be great or awful. Depends on how they were trained.
