i am about a month or so from retiring in california & moving to our house in cottage grove oregon on the row river. not many fish on the row (from what i hear) but there are so many other great places to fish close by that it doesn't worry me. we also have a cottage in winchester bay so we will...

you could get lucky & find an older wood drift boat on craigslist. your honda can tow a light weight trailer & drift boat i would think. at your height a small pontoon wouldn't be comfortable.

Tim Abraham charters out of winchester bay frequently. I have gone with him a few times and always had a blast. T&C fishing adventures is his website

from Vida head east up 126 & go hiking at koosa falls area on the mc kenzie river. it is beautiful up there. another great hike that she would love is to go to belknap springs resort. they have some nice trails & a great hidden garden area across the bridge over the river. you can also setup a...

is the poor crabbing due to low rain fall / low river flows?

how is the heat gun helping? are you using a chemical paint stripper? looks like the wood is pretty well preserved under the paint.

wish I was up there to enjoy a day on the river. sure beats working in san jose all day.

that kayak looks amazingly stable. very interesting to see how hard it looked to capsize, yet easy to turn back over. thanks for sharing the video.

nice looking driftboats! i have only been in one once down the mckenzie, but the memory of that trip will last a lifetime. such a beautiful river to float down.

nice looking catch! where is trojan?

wow, that is a great looking fish! nice catch for sure.

you may want to search ebay for trailer tires. i got brand a new trailer tire mounted & balanced on a galvanized steel rim shipped to me for just under $100 each from a dealer on ebay with tons of them in stock.

i don't think i can get back up there until thanksgiving unfortunately.

Koffler is fixing my boat now. I asked them to install a mercury 9.9 kicker motor & a swim step as long as they had my boat in their shop anyway. I'll pick it up next time i visit Oregon. I can't wait to try it out on the water!
