July 18th starting at 5pm at centennial park The Poky Portneuf Paddle will be showcasing tons of great local vendors and promoting our local river system and all it has to offer. The SRF crew will be doing some casting demos and showing off some of our watermaster and maxxon outfitter inflatable rafts we love using for floating the portneuf river along with talking about its fishing opportunities. There will also be a free shuttle service being ran for those that want to bring their own kayaks, tubes, and rafts to float the river. Hope to see you all there!
