As a bank angler, my main concerns are the noise and the wake. It's a little like snowmobiles in Yellowstone. For those who ride them, they can't understand what all the negativity is about and will defend their right to use them. I would also defend your right to use your sleds wherever you want. However, part of the experience of being in the upper reaches of a river is a sense of peace and solitude. A driftboater that bogarts into a hole when a bankie is there actually is worse to me than a sledder. I also recognize both are a fact of life and are here to stay. As a third generation Wash-a-tonian, it just seems there are not all that many places left close-in where one can find a place to fish where there aren't a ton of bankies, sledders or DBers.
