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.
I'm not really sure what your point is, or if you were referring to my post, but here goes:
The trailer at the diversion dam got to be a useless pos through the years and it became easier to just drag around the dam on the rocks. It was some work to drag a driftboat around it, but definitely do-able.
I never saw or heard of anyone dragging a sled around the dam (maybe some did? -hopefully a very small sled), but I wouldn't try it, personally. And wasn't the post about sleds?
My only point was the earlier post had to have mentioned the wrong bridge. A run in a sled from "the tank bridge" (just above the reservation) to the "high dam" (Lagrand) would be a pretty bad-ass endeavor, especially including the 100 yard drag around the diversion dam (which you'd have to do twice). And some people might actually call it foolish- not only because of the miles involved- but considering there were usable launches on both sides.
But since some people are "wizards", I'm sure you pulled it off.
