An email from Ottawa Flyfishers last week about this location contained
the warning :
Note: waders are *strongly* suggested unless you enjoy taking a skin
rash home with you.
I will ask around re what kind of "skin rash", but it may take a while.
OFS has weekly outings in the summer. In two years, there have been
lots of warnings about current and footing hazards. Strathcona is the
only location for which I have seen a skin health warning.
