The Salmon Versus The Jetboat - And The Winner Is

The weekend of Labor Day has passed and I was fortunate to spend a day here in the Rogue River Oregon.Not become a "tourist" in my backyard very often, we are treated to an exciting day for a jetboat to travel up and down the central section of the Rogue in Grants Pass.This is a bit 'of a change in the river trip for me as my usual way of travel or a foot or driftboat raft. The jetboat Fast Lane is an adventure, usually for tourists with limited time and looking for readers Digest version exploration Rogue. We had a visit from the company and fishing, because it is not interest them, this was the perfect trip for them to know the Rogue River better.First a bit, "let me say that the journey is very pleasant and exciting, even with old and young, shouting and smiling enthusiastically, as the jetboat go to his patented 360-degree wheel, which almost always leaves passengers wet, laughing and asking for more laps. In fact, if someone would start a "Whirl "which could be driven by upstream and downstream, would undoubtedly be filled customers.Puking customers happy - but happy! The trip is also very informative, with a knowledgeable guide / driver of the boat making history, emphasizing fauna and all the fun with a box of a few "diatribe" that is expected of this form of entertainment river. "Yes, I once had a fan of the Dallas Cowboys on board, which kept me ears. I told him I was going to avenge him, and when I flew in this flock of Canada Goose and left to go ... right on it .... you can believe that we saw ?".... Otter, osprey, bald eagles, herons, egrets, deer, ducks, geese, and the homes of millions of dollars to the park and also saw settings.We salmon fishermen.Being salmon in the center of the fall salmon run on the Rogue, which met throughout the trip. The drivers are very friendly and always slow with 1100 HP engine to a minimum in the way. This helps maintain a partnership very unstable between the non-motorized boats, shore fishermen and boats motor to a balance that even the UN admire.They obviously did not mean for the trip, but there are "struggling skills" when These use.Jetboats River Rogue River have worked for several years, in reality much longer I was here, and always has been some conflict between fishermen and the boats that fly up and down the river, ninety miles per hour , I read the passages in the great books of the river ", which speaks of the fishermen get" drowned "or" bankies "throwing sinkers jetboat by.Everyone striata said" that was the river. "Allegations followed increasingly the importance of jobs and tourist dollars, against the fishing rights and the effect on standard Salmon.By the past, today co-existence is very smooth and once they are civil.More fishermen or fish is half of the battle would be a fine or a fall of 40 cranes Salmon flies through the air, drawing applause and admiration of jet crowd.I can hear some of the "tourists", exclaiming how wonderful it was to see consideration the large salmon being caught by the river souls abundant. Of course, many of them did not know that some of these fish are collected and taken home illegally.Having just returned from Alaska where snagging is legal (Gill below the plate) and is considered the standard practice of fishing was interesting to see the different attitudes between the rivers of the residents of Alaska and the lower part of the "48" River Guide dweller.Our / driver more than once said Burr ongoing and illegal harvesting daily trips to see their along the River. He also turned the boat around once so we could see a fisherman from the networks' lack hooked fish that correctly predicted not to be landed until they were out of sight. Thus, the angler fish are caught and could boast of their fishing skills to work again on Tuesday! He was right!
