Hey Bill,

Gotta disagree with the need for more/improved launches on both rivers. This would only encourage even more people on 2 already horribly overcrowded rivers. The only exception would be the mouth of the westfork satsop; that launch is in total disrepair and is a boat bottom destroyer.

Secondly, you may have the common sense not to run the upper stretches in low water but there are plenty of meatheads out there that wouldn't think twice about doing it. We've watched this crap for over a decade with no improvement seen.

Third, just because a bunch of baby boomers decide to buy toys for an area they shouldn't be in isn't a good excuse to rule out a ban.

fourth, I think the prposal came about not from the WDFW person you speak of but from a growing outcry of fishermen who are frustrated with sleds here.

Time for a ban!
