I was not able to attend the meeting last night so I sent an email to the Mayor (Ms. Stegal). I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from her office today explaining what will happen from here. It sounds like they are going to explore closing during high flows and closing it entirely to certain vessel types, they are more worried about joe weekend warrior in his $20 imflatable raft than they are about drift boats. Unfortunately the Sherifs office (remember how good they are with boats, I seem to remember a sunken jet boat at the ACID dam) and the boating safety admin are adament about closing that section of river.
Unfortunately high flows are from april until.....late summer, the months when the most fishermen are on the river....
Long and short,,,I was happy to get a response from the Mayors office. I highly recomend everyone send her an email and the rest of the council. They are listening.
here is the email address:
