A buddy of mine has a drift boat and the other day we were talking about bringing it to the LI for a couple of quick trips. He floats the white / norfork all the time so knows how to handle a boat, I just didnt know if it was feasible. We are more of streamers guys and would love to bang the bank and see what we get.

They would have to be running at least one generator for you guys to use your drift boat. Otherwise, you'll be dragging it a good deal of the way.

We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.

I really don't think it'd be worth your time if you're targeting trout. From the handful of times I've fished the lower illinois, it seems the trout are concentrated in a few select areas. I've walked from Watts all the way up to the dam and there's a ton of dead water in there that probably holds few trout. I've walked downstream of Watts a little ways as well and its pretty dead water that way too. There's some quality looking water below Marvels that might hold trout but I've never tried it. Always just fished for stripers down there. I could be dead wrong though. Might be a different story when they're running 1 generator though. It might be a good tactic with some sink tips and big streamers for stripers....you could really fish the deeper holes.

I don't know....just my thoughts.
