Fast if you fish the satsop very much then I am sure we have met. I will have to disagree with a sled turning off the bite. There are many instances I will drift a stretch a few times and not get a bite. The next time I go up I will run my boat over the water I want to fish and the next drift down I will get fish. I make this a regular habit no matter what river I fish. Bank errosion on the East fork is not from boats. That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. Obviously you dont fish the river enough to realize how the high waters erode and change the course of this river two or three times a year. You could run sleds 24/7 up and down the east fork and not come close to what one high water will do.
