What ever you do, heed the wildlife officials warnings and avoid all contact if you spot one of these clowns. And whatever you do, NEVER, EVER, FEED THEM! Just keep a safe distance. You never want to sneak up on, surprise, or come face to face with one of these ferocious big brown catching clowns standing in the river, I've heard their prone to charging and attacking unsuspecting fly fishermen!

Much like when you're in bear country, whistle or talk loudly while walking the banks of the river in tall thickets. You can usually hear and identify them from some distance away though by their screeching...Kinda sounds something like Owyhee, Owyhee, Owyhee!
