Whitewater Forum : Upper Sultan Problems

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: JayBSubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 7:05pm-Is there any possibility that the release dates could be standardized? Or at least partially standardized? I realize there are many factors that determine when and if releases occur, but based on on my experience on the East Coast - vaguely standard release dates (weekend after Labor Day, etc) dramatically increase particip...

Whitewater Forum : Upper Sultan Problems

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: AdamGSubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 1:15pmTom, thanks for sharing this feedback and the point that PUD is committing resources and ultimately costs to these releases and it's based on the sign-in process. Making an appointment to run a river is not standard operations and I dare guess that some boaters may not have realized this and the implications of a "no-show"....

Whitewater Forum : Upper Sultan Problems

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: okeefeSubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 12:55pmMaking changes is always possible although we have to fit within narrow windows that are approved by fish managers. The big problem is having people not show. We are supposed to have 6 people to hold a release. If people don't sign up, we know that up front, and the release is not held, no staff are mobilized and we can b...

Author: ConradLillenessSubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 12:32pmTom,I will say that Drew and I were incredibly stoked to get on the Upper Sultan for the first time.

Whitewater Forum : Upper Sultan Problems

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jondufaySubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 11:18amTom, I agree, that is a problem. Would it be possible to try to negotiate for releases when there are less boating options? I have been kayaking for 12 years now and it seems like there is never a shortage of options this time of year. As I am sure that you are aware, the reason we had something like 323 boaters show up...

Eskimo Salto Creek Boat $250

Utah Rivers · Utah and vicinity

I'm thinning out the herd and have a nice Eskimo Salto creek kayak for sale. This is an excellent boat for either creeking or an aspiring beginner boater as it is one of the easiest boats to roll. It is also an excellent self support boat as it contains no pillars, which is possible through Eskimo's use of superior plastic and molding technique. This boat has always been garaged and well taken ...

Author: okeefeSubject: Upper Sultan ProblemsPosted: 25 Apr 2016 at 9:26amJust so folks know, I received this note below from Snohomish PUD last night. I realize this release happened during the Robe Race and over a weekend where the Wenatchee was quite appealing but if this happens again, we're going to loose the opportunities we worked so hard to get on the Sultan.
