Price drop! :D

Stop at nothing with non native species. Shoot for 300 next time 🥳

I know nothing about that rod. But typical rule of thumb for grain windows: heavy end of it for Skagits, lower end of it for Scandi. But I'd have a real hard time believing an 11'6" 7/8 would want anything more than something in the low 500s

That story is so damn funny. Basically dude sees boats going up and down the Cowlitz so thinks he can run his deep V hull, propped Trophy out there. He didn't make it very far.

I like boat fishing around Portland and often have open seats

That's why I have two powered boats and a few rafts. Can never have too many

Back when I had my Clack I had a 15hp merc to run on it. Thing could only go up stream in the slowest of currents due to the lack of stern width. Tried using it on the cowlitz a few times to run laps in a few spots but just wasn't viable. Going up a riffle was totally out of the question (both...

Yeah the power drifter is more meant as primarily a motorboat where you can control the drift back down. Definitely a boat for bigger/slower water. Really, it's the boat that can do what the original post was about. There's a few around Portland here, but they mostly live on the Willamette...

Yeah power drifters are an interesting solution. Has a full width stern in the back vs tapering to almost a point like a drift boat. Way harder to maneuver with oars, but a cool boat type.

That's what jet sleds are for. And in most rivers, there's about a 0% chance of motoring a drift boat up stream due to rapids. A drift boat isn't designed to get up on plane, they just plow water. So your motor will drag and get taken out on the first rock. Oars and the simplicity of floating...

been rebuilding my boat I use for local waters, so just now getting things buttoned up. Lots of fishing ahead

I've had my eye on these. They have some heavier models available. https://goture.com/search?q=travel&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

My boat is just about all rigged up. I made the shakedown trip last week and donated some herring to the river. Hoping to get some fresh springer slabs on the grill here soon!

Know how I know @Billy hasn't voted? 10wt still has zero votes.

I can almost taste it... Need to finish curing the insides with low temp fires then will do my facade and make it all pretty

According to the Amazons it's 22.75 x 14.25 x 14.47 inches

I got my boat out three times and went with a friend once last year. I'd happily double that number if I can pull it off.
