Pat, I'm getting the permit handled...

JK, nothing wrong with villain status...might earn you a target on your back, but could just as easily get you a "stay the f*&k away from me" badge, and that ain't half bad.

At the SRC our team had a water cannon that could literally sink a boat within about thirty seconds, were any boats silly enough to get close enough to try and steal a fish. A quick display with no provocation, but no soakings, pretty much put any behavior like that on the back burner for the rest of the day...

Granted, we didn't hook any damn fish anyway, so who knows? Someone may have braved the cannon had we hooked up...but I'm guessing not!

I'm thinking the key will be for the leaders from day 1 to be able to sneak out of camp and get back on the river without having an entire hoard of miscreants following them to their particular spot!

Fish on...
