probably not a whole lot worse than a 20' sled.

I figure everyone talks about "no sleds" on peninsula rivers. What about a bay boat? rofl

I think a sled could get up Oxbow, but I'm skeptical about it being successfully run back downstream.

Just back it down. Lot easier that way.

You would stuff the bow into a roller going upstream before you even had a chance to F'up the 90 degree turn in any hard boat. I would do it with Dave Kilhefner's jet raft, though. That thing has a keel and turns on a dime, and your not going to submerge the bow of an inflatable.

Seems like in recent years the channel where those "rollers" are has narrowed. Either that, or the rocks on river right have moved around a bit.

At the angle you have take with a 17ft db to avoid the rock (or the big hole, depending on cfs) there just isn't much room to screw up. Doubt it would be much different backing it down...

It'd be worth every penny of $500 to watch someone "try", imho...

Two years ago the high water pushed a bunch of rocks and gravel into the right side of the approach channel. I used to hug that right bank as I slid down above the rock, then pulled to get to the left of the big rock. First time I rowed it after the change was in Sol's boat. I found less water and more gravel than there was before smile Lucky that we had super man logo on the boat or who knows what could have happened smile

Sol, do you have more info, pics, or specs of the jet raft ?

Nick and I borrowed it to run down the Babine two years ago. It was about 12 feet long with a hard floor. The thing was pretty much unsinkable.

A friend of mine has built a plastic boat with "raft" exterior...(I will have to get pics to cover my poor description), they had a 200hp sport jet installed, overall length including "bumpers" is about 18' with seating for 3 brave souls. I should say 2 seated passengers and one standing operator. The intent is to go where no other boat can go, I think it will live up to that...

I can live with that. There are plenty of times/places where people can play in the water without bothering any fish or fishermen.

I beg to differ.... There is no time when a sportjet in a medium to smaller river isnt going to bother fish.

Are there fish in every drop of water in the N.W. ?

I keep hearing about extinction and "hatchery runs"...which is it ?
