Thanks, Keith. I'm a neophyte pontooner and like to stick to the simple, safe stuff. I, too, have heard about the dangers of the Sultan. Looks like a placid little creek, but I understand it can be a killer. I'll try wading. If it gets anymore difficult than that, I'll head home! Whitefish aint worth dyin' over!!!
