Ouch, on your last couple of sentences, but.... I would appreciate the signs! I'll look for them... I would like to see you wade that muddy little runlet you refer to in the next few months! I'm sure I'm wrong but it wouldn't appear that you've ever experienced the S.F. of the Boise...
THE South Fork of the Snake is indeed THE world class fishery. No question. My son-in-law's family owns one of the local fly shops in I.P.. I love to razz them about the R.R. crowd. They just grin and count the cash.
When I was a teen, we fished it with Shakespeare glass rods and automatic fly reels. Hooked a bow that absolutely snapped my first 9' glass rod. I have the rod and the reel in my rod stand today. Finally got the rod repaired and still fish it occasionally.
This is all said in good humor with no offense to you intended. I appreciate your original post for what it was meant to convey and I agree with you that it can be confusing. "The Narrows" to me for the past 20 years can represent a favorite Kokanee hangout at Lucky Peak reservoir, the narrow canyon of the Snake within C.J. Strike reservoir, or a dozen other places on the Snake all the way to Lewiston... (the Snake River actually continues through Idaho after it leaves the South Fork...)
