- Okay folks. I have an elderly friend who I think qualifies for the ODFW Disabled Angler Fishing Permit. He wants to fish the Deschutes next season from my Driftboat. I found this in the ODFW Regualtions which allows a Disabled Permit holder to :
- Fish from an anchored boat, or other floating device, in places where fishing from a boat is prohibited by ODFW.
Am I maybe not understanding the regulations? Can he in fact, cast and fish, as we float down the river?
If any of you have done this for a friend, family member or even a client, do you have any tips/tricks you can pass on?
FWIW this friend of mine is probably one of the best fly fisherman and Flt Tyer, that Ive met in my 40 ish years of doing this sport. The last few years have been physically tough for him. When I mentioned the Disabled Angler Permit Idea to him today, his face lit up like a Christmas Tree. Warmed my heart. Hope I can make this happen.
Happy Weekend All.
