the nooch is a smaller river,so its a little tighter in a couple spots below black creek.if the flows are up above 1000 you should have no problems.the satsop is pretty simple below the forks which is all the further a guy should fish a sled in my opinion.also the nooch is such a great drift boat river it would be nice to not allow sleds on that river(my opinion only please don't slam me too bad)good luck fishing.scott
