You are required to have both oars and fins or an extra oar (if you are only using oars) or an extra fin (if you only use fins). Its the best place to use a pontoon and kochanut is right on about the rapids.
I would recommend a place to stow your flyrod(s) while going down the bigger rapids. You want to face downstream (row upstream) and use your oars to row away from obstacles. You want to keep your boat pointed generally upstream as a few good strokes of your oars will move you away from trouble. Rowing sideways in a current will get you quickly spun around.
My least favorite parts isn't the rapids, its the huge pools in the first 3 miles where you have to row downstream to keep moving against the almost constant upstream wind.
It is the most amazing, beautiful place to fish and my favorite place in Utah. Have a great trip!
One more thing . . . June and July have a huge rubber hatch. Start early in the morning and don't stop too often or the rubber rafts will catch you and they have a hard time staying out of your fishing lanes (they just have a hard time controlling those things).
