Ok, let me put a couple more cennts in on this topic. The WDFW can regulate who fishes fromm what type of boat on a waterway. The key word is FISHES!!! Of course if you float or sled a river and are not fishing you can not be harrased (unless there's a county ordanance against it). I

Also, before anyone gets their panties in a bind over the new rules take a good look at the wording. Luckily Ii'm on the proposal list and get a copy of these possible changes ahead of time. It states Motors prohibited upstream of the Ccity of Aberdeen's water intake dam on the Nooch and motors prohibited upstream of the mouth of the East fork of the Satsop. All that water above both oof those points should be motorless anyways. I don't care who you are, I own a sled and would not (and haven't) run my sled above either of those points. It still leaves plenty of good water on both rivers available to sleds. It is in no way "banning" sleds fromm the river. God, do you know how much water yo have to run from mouth of Satsop to East Fork???? Sheesh. East Fork to Schaefer isn't that much water to give up anyways.

Oh well, I'm sure there will be some thta have to have all the river.
