"On the Nooch, no sleds above the Dam".......mmmmm, wow tough to get thur the canyon with a sled.....now I know you meant "Wynoochee water intake" but that doesn't really seem fair......Wynoochee is about 27 miles long...but you feel that the lower 6-7 miles should be where all the sleds should operate??????

Can't buy that, nothing wrong with sleds in the "white bridge to about CarterCreek", especially when the want level is 1800+.

Drift boats can have 7400 line to Carter Creek and Crossover Bridge to Wyn. water intake, that is prime driftboat water and lot's of miles of river.

Satsop....really depends on the water level. I've sure been above the Torrow Branch, brood stocking for WDFW and never felt that my sled was in any danger but would not do that if the water level was low.

I don't really know what a "big sled is", but I had mine built at 15' 6" to stay away from being "to big"...

See the problem is: people want to fish, OP has many rivers that are driftboat only...just that they are futher North.....ie Upper Quinault, East/West Fork to hiway bridge of Humptulips, Queets, Upper Hoh, etc.
