Is this Elkhorn Creek's Future?

I would say the people that destroy the stream the most are the ones that never spend time on it. They are the people that dump there garbage and what not.

I agree with this - and I think it contradicts your earlier statement about fishermen being as bad as paddlers. I think there are a lot of canoe/kayak renters who fit this category. Just going on what I've seen from wading Elkhorn 30-40 times a year the past couple decades.
