Yup no sleds on the satsop.

That's f'ing awesome. Didn't know that

finally been lobbiying for this for years

Apparently this is not a well-known regulation.

Page 46......Hope the season is good for everyone......

Where can I find this in the regs? Just looked and didn't see anything

It's in the proposed rules for next season

The Sleds i can see and it is about time, especially past the west fork launch; but are they really going to ban drift boats? Not that I have one...but I know people that do and I don't think they will stop using them from decker to the west fork launch regardless of a rule change.

Can someone provide proof?

I think there's a good reason for that.

What you should do........post the exact address that speaks to these proposals ........ then people can go read them for themselves.

Thanks............

Is this a WDFW proposal or did it come from the County?

It won't happen..

What a shame. I do enjoy motor boating.

I saw the announcement about sport reg meetings. They supposedly limited proposals to the East Side. So, the only Public Meeting west of the Crest is in Vancouver. And they put this in with no public meeting nearby??

Like pushing a hot dog down a hallway

The Satsop and the Nootch shouldn't allow sleds. Those rivers are too small and those sleds definitely cause erosion and damage that wouldn't be there if the sleds were banned. Let them tear up the Cowlitz it's already a mess. I had a 20+ pound silver hooked on a fly and was starting to get the best of it and some dumb ass ran over my fly line and good by silver. There were maybe 4 people there watching the epic fight and all were yelling at the dude to slow down and wait but he just went on through. The water level was borderline for a sled as well which gave him no way to go around.

Link is to rule making and nothing R 6

They've tried before, it will never happen, good luck with this. I'd love it to happen, taking sleds out....

I'd be all for keeping the sleds in the lower river on those those streams...especially the Satsop where I've had 20 foot sleds blow by me four feet away all the way up above the Turnow Branch, and they had to be four feet from me because the damn river was only 25 feet wide.

That being said...WDFW cannot "ban sleds" from up there, only the County can do that, so you won't see it in any WDFW Rule Proposals.

That's why I said this:



...reason being why it's not a "well known regulation" is that it doesn't exist.
