Well, if we're going to do this, let's get it on!! Being a seasonal fisher on the Sop - generally late Oct, Nov, & December - I believe that sleds have no place on this River above Cook Creek. The water is skinny and the only way a sled can navigate safely is to be on step and be running fast. This part of the river is well suited to wading and in fact, crossing the river. I believe that it is an inherent safety issue as waders and crossers work the river (which is quite bendy in this section). If you have never been washed down by a jet boat when you are in the river above your knees, you have never lived. Because of the curves, the wader has very little warning that a jet is bearing down on them. Certainly, there is some jealousy on my part, because I can't afford a sled, but there is so much water available to the sledders where folks aren't crossing the rivers, I can not see why they can't concentrate on those sections. As our rivers get more and more crowded, the inevitably of someone being hit or drowned by a jet boat is becoming increasingly likely. Flame on!!!
