Andy,

I am glad to see some one finally make the attempt to do something, I will try and make it but kinda don't think I will be able to. I would like to see the sled ban from Black Creek down and after the river drops below a set flow then no motors at all even if it is in the winter. As for guides fishing a river, I gotta say that maybe we shouldn't target guides. it's not the guide but the boat that is hurting the river system. I personally don't fish the nooch much because of the crowds and the thought of getting run over by the sleds in the upper river. I think it is wrong to target guides. and it looks bad for us to go after them. after all we may need them to help us fight for certain things one day and they will remember the sporties that TARGET THEM off the river. I think if we go after sleds regardless of who is operating them it will solve the guide problem. I mean think about it. NO sleds in the upper river and we don't look like we are trying to cut some ones job and way of putting food on the table. we allow sleds down low and if they don't like it get a drift boat or go to another river and we still look good and stand a better chance of getting this to fly with the state. am I getting my point out? I feal like I'm spinning my wheels. if the guides can't use their sleds then they will just go other places. and we look good (kinda)
