Wayne SW/MO Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I always caught more fish on foot and generally chose to fish that way even on a float. I think at times it might be advantageous to approach a hole from downstream anyway. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Mitch f Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is painful to watch... Dude, just get out and WALK! Good grief. Holy Crap! I can't believe I wasted several minutes of my life that I will never get back watching that People amaze me sometimes. As if a shuttle fee is going to kill you. How much is your time worth? Agree with Brian, just pay the fee. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrySTL Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am trying to figure out a) why that guy did that and why he filmed it ( had to be to win a really large bet) and c) why I watched it. Looked like a whole lotta not-fun to me. X 3 on paying the fee. http://intervenehere.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Agnew Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Actually, good polers can go up some pretty heavy rapids, like you'd find on the St. Francis with moderate water. That guy was in water that would have been easier to walk, but when you've got quite a bit more volume and stronger rapids, poling is about the only way to get up it. I've messed around with poling some, but I'm not good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hays Posted February 17, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2014 This guy can do it. Can't figure out how to get the You Tube video in the link, but paste this into your browser to see some real canoe poling, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch f Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wow, this guy is good at polling!! "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy B Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This guy can do it. Can't figure out how to get the You Tube video in the link, but paste this into your browser to see some real canoe poling, That’s what I’m talking about. Add a fly rod and you have perfection. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw.

Members Hays Posted February 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2014 Can anyone identify the canoe he's poling in, other than "a red one?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks like a Mad River Explorer or a Nova Craft...Think there was a Belitz named Sylvester. That is the vid that inspired me to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
