We misplaced a bow line on June 6th possibly in the Yampa River. We noticed it missing at Harding Hole and know we had one at Anderson. It is about 20' in length of about 3/8' rope. We are unsure if a guest may have taken it to use for something else or if it was poorly tied to the boat and fell off. Just want to inform the boaters of this potential hazard.
