Nothing to do with sleds on the pen rivers. I fish the Skagit mainly and fish from the bank, use a sled, float the river with a pontoon boat. I rarely have any problems fishing with any of the above methods. Once in a while some bonehead in a sled or drift boat will get to close but very rare. Most guys respect your water. During eagle watching season you might get some city folks floating down that don't understand the river and they will float over your water but that is even rare. The only vandalism I have come across was theft. Had my truck broken into once. If I came across someone busting up my trailer would I shoot them? No. I would call the sheriff.
