plans changed not sure whats up now. may just do lower sandy if i can...

sounds good! so who wants to go? also how long to float feldinheimer to say barton? used to do it on tubes bit its been a long time.

i had a buddy telling me about a nice hole below eagle cr. but float from there or down from mcgiver?

thinking bout launching the toon this sunday on the clack, maybe feldinheimer to ?barton/carver?. heard the coho are hitting on the lower clack and hoping this bit of rain will convince them to move up river. anyone down to float sunday?:thumb:

so i tied up a bunch just as in the stalkers video. super simple and they came out awesome for being my first ones but i have a question. i took them out to try them both drift and float fishing from the bank and while the yarn belt it's shape after 8-10 casts the ball itself started to slide...

thanks everyone some good advice and answered my question. i love this forum!!!

well not a pro by any means but yea i had visions of side drifting the long slower moving water and then reeling up to go through any fast water so i'd only be having to anchor if i hooked up in the slower water. I've been told its best just to use the toon as a "taxi" to get to holes and then...

ok so i'm determined to chase the fish down the rivers this next year with my new pontoon boat but first i have a question. can anyone explain to me why it's a bad idea to use an anchor in the rivers? i've read a bunch of places thats it's not a good idea but no one ever explains why… maybe...

yea my first craft was a creek co. and i HATED those oar locks, even though i had no troubles with them. my new ones are pinned and the oars are better than what I'm used to but i can see them not taking too much punishment without failing.

the oars i can see but it's got brass oarlocks. are those not suitable?

yeah thats what i was thinking. i know it's no whitewater special or anything. with my first boat, a creek company i didn't even want to do that. as for upper sandy when i was younger we put in at the power station on inner tubes… lesson learned:sad: and have heard too many horror stories about...

bladders or skins? not sure about the bladders but the skins are vinyl w/ the pvc reenforced bottoms

i was wondering bout this. the new (colorado) boats i find online say rated class 1 which are essentially the same boat. i couldn't find the columbia for sale with specs however i did find a review that stated it was rated class 2. there is a tag on the boat that states that it was built for...

is it wrong that i go out to the shop and sit on this for 10-15 min dreaming of reeling in fish then come inside and look at pics of it? o feel like a kid on xmas morn!!!
