Having fished the nooch for 20 plus years, I
believe the problem is OVER CROWDING period!
I Have a small 14' sled,I fish salmon
above the cross over bridge. I have never
fished a hole that had bank fishermen in it.
Nor have I raced a drift boat to a hole. I
always knew I could go up or down river to
fish in holes that were vacant. I don't see
a problem with sleds when the salmon are running. Steelhead fishing is a different
story. The river cannot handle the pressure
day after day. I would like to see the river
become catch and release.
