The best Father's Day gift I could've hoped for was to spend this day with my daughter. I put her behind the oars for her first time...and her arms were sore after about 10 minutes.
Nancy was in her 'Flippy-Me' which didn't flip... Virgil, Hank & Melinda w/kids and A-Basin dude.
Wildlife: good fishing with increased flows & hatches.
Many fishermen on this stretch of water...and a few recreational boaters.

Not a lazy trip, only eddied-out once before canyon, then for lunch at the cottonwood tree.
