Hey yukon

Funny you should bring this up. One of the hot-button WDFW issues currently burning on the table is banning powerboats from certain sections of the Satsop and Wynoochee Rivers here in my back yard. The concerns are similar to those on the Kenai..... crowding, noise, erosion from wakes, boats running a hole over and over again. The guide community has been the most outspoken opponent of the proposed ban.

Earlier there was a post on another thread about some Cowlitz guy bringing his sled up to Forks, and one of the replies warned about having a couple of spare tires, if you get my drift. Although there is nothing illegal about putting a powerboat in the local rivers, the local ettiquette dictates how the fishery is prosecuted rather than the letter of the law.

This is a great board with excellent participation. Do you have objections to Kenai issues being brought to this board if they become unwelcome on the AOJ Forum? This could be a good place to get a feel for non-resident opinions on pending Kenai regulatory changes.
