I figure,when I get to where I can't row a river any more, I'll start fishing the Cow, Sno, Columbia, Skagit and other larger flows where a sled won't do as much damage as it would do to a smaller river. Until then I'll stay bebind the oars and pray for sled bans on all the smaller rivers.

There's nothing like a quiet peaceful day on the river, the wind, birds, sound of the water in a little riffel, your oars pushing water with each stroke,then all of a sudded the roar or a 115 merc tearing up the river, the wake spinning you and your plugs off the slot you've been working for the last half hour, no thanks!!

Don't get me wrong I fish from a sled all the time, but only places where a drift boat is just a target for other sleds. With the springers starting to show I'll be fishin from sleds for the next couple of months, that is if I don't piss off driftboat and scrawny with this post. no hard feelings guys. By the way scrawny, after rowing your 6'10" 320lb frame down those OP rivers last weekend, I think I'm ready to upgrade to the 18' willie .
