If you see an old VW Rabbit on the side of the road, stop by,say hi and shake the hand of the man who is responsible for spearheading much of the wild fish conservation efforts on the North. Frank is a legend on the river and a fine gentleman as well. Next time you drive by the run at Rip Rap point(Elevation Rock tourist Pool)imagine a dam stretched across the river at that point, blocking free travel forever to salmon and steelhead up Steamboat and Canton Creek. He was behind a grassroots effort that said "NO WAY ARE YOU PUTTING A DAM IN THERE" Guess what? He and others spoke up and the project never happened. Thanks Frank! While you are on the river enjoying it's beauty, think about those that came before and think about how you can help to keep the legacy and legendary status of this great river alive. Mark
