Funny, I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago on the Cowlitz. I saw the oar coming down toward me, so just scooped it up and ran it back up to them. I thought later how scary that would be to literally be upriver without a paddle.
C454 - I can appreciate your concern for the loss of serenity caused by sleds. But sleds are a product of American progession. If you think it's bad now, wait until they develop hovercrafts to fish the upper reaches reserved now for driftboats and pontoons. It's all part of progress, man.
