if you actually floated a drift boat from the mouth of the mashelle then you should know that you could go around the diversion dam that is located on Wilcox farmland by usuing the old boat trailer that was left there so you could hand load your boat then pull it over a hundred yards around the diversion dam, if you didn't know that then you never floated it. and there were mass sleds back then too and the NDN's did F up that river with their nets.
