This is not a Central Oregon issue but if you like to fish the Rogue River around Shady Cove as much as I do, please keep reading. If you have ever fished this part of the Rogue then you may have encountered a jet boat creating a dangerous wake if you are standing in the river or floating in your drift boat or pontoon. Rogue Riverkeeper is attempting to ban all boats over 10 HP in the Upper Rogue above Fishers Ferry County Park, which make sense to me as an angler. There will still be plenty of river for high powered boats. Further, why ban all boats at rarely occurring very low flows? How is a pontoon boat a problem? Check out this blog post from Rogue Riverkeeper and click on their “take action” link to send a letter. (Yes, I wrote about this some time ago, but more comments are needed now on the final proposed regulations from the Oregon State Marine Board.)
