it seems like the sleds dominate the larger rivers (Skagit, Cowlitz, NF Lewis), bankies have all of small streams and the drift boats have the Oly Pen and the c n r rivers when open. Been that way for years and I think it works well

What the hell? I never seen one word from Kevin saying anything about destroying anyones trailer!

JimH- who is the stupid one? your the one that cant read! I didnt see anything about damage or stolen property!

Glo ball where are you getting this idea?
I say hide in the bushes and I certainly dont want to see what your clutching in your hand you should do that at home! Public nudity can get you a ticket And if it was a gun your talking about I would say that might be a threat which might have some jail time involved in that..

And last but not least Duraboat15 if your drift boat trailer looks like a sled trailer I feel sorry for you!!!

I say to all that wants to take there sled to forks area be my guest but make sure your insurance is paid up! you will need to make a claim by days end.. TM

And the little baldheaded boy sittin on the porch continues to play his banjo.

Nothing to do with sleds on the pen rivers. I fish the Skagit mainly and fish from the bank, use a sled, float the river with a pontoon boat. I rarely have any problems fishing with any of the above methods. Once in a while some bonehead in a sled or drift boat will get to close but very rare. Most guys respect your water. During eagle watching season you might get some city folks floating down that don't understand the river and they will float over your water but that is even rare. The only vandalism I have come across was theft. Had my truck broken into once. If I came across someone busting up my trailer would I shoot them? No. I would call the sheriff.

No C & R for vandals......They all deserve to be BONKED and put on a stringer to soak.

Timber Man,
Dont feel sorry for me. Having hauled a drift boat from southern oregon to Auburn on my bunk trailer (not drift boat trailer) with no problems or adjustments to the trailer I know it can be done. Saw someone putting there drift boat on a utillity trailer last weekend on the cowlitz they just tied it to the flat plywood deck.

screaminreelron,

Good one.

Squeel like a pig!

Just cause I ride a Bike doesnt mean I belong to a gang!
Of course it doesn't mean I don't either??

You toucha my bike I toucha you head with lead!

Geez, I own a bike AND a sled. Guess I can't spend any money in Forks. Too bad 'cause I was seriously thinking about going on some guided trips out there, but this thread sure makes me feel unwelcomed.

Maybe that's one area that people go to get AWAY from loud machines.

Is it tough to fish from a bike. Must have big tires. Everyone needs to chill out.

Pickled Herring, Minibear, the intent on my post was to say"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" People live in certain places because they identify with the community there, and probably like the area.

Vandalism is a crime, and is not limited to only certain types of property. I respect people who seek transportation on motorcycles, boats, cars etc. If you are a victim report it.

I guess all I'm trying say is respect the local customs, and the locals will respect you!!!! Try to blend in!
