Another fly fishing boat

[rumrunner]

Since fishwrench showed his I want to show mine. Only thing left to do is get the oars. I want to be able to use it like a drift boat on Taneycomo. Although you have alot more control with the old style foot control trolling moter, I really like the spot lock. And cruise control. I do better using fly line in a boat without decks. It's easier for me to keep it out of trouble.

Dan Gapen had a little rig just like that back in the day.   He carried a landing net that was as wide as the boat was....for a reason 😉

I bought a set of oars.....gave them away.....found out I would rather fish than row.....

Yeah ya got to have a good friend to make that work!

Me and Glen we are the sticks. Two nights of fly fishing and we never whacked each other in the head with our flies. Glen

 is a really good fisherman with the long rod.

 Very Nice -  bet those were a hoot on a 7wt.    I was wondering where those fish went…I saw one school deep a few weeks ago but could not keep them pinned down.

I don't think I've ever seen someone that physically matches their online persona quite so well.

Yeah I know, Piper truly is a Leprechaun!  😅

Having him in the boat is incredible good luck. 👍

They are 7'-9' and hugging the bottom up here.  I'm just now figuring out how to get them to bite semi-consistently.   Low & Slow with no fancy/darty strips or twitches.   Perfect sport for a lazy dude👍

The only thing I can get to chase and bite in the top 1/2 of the water column is the little runt yearling Whites.   If you aren't catching catfish and drum occasionally then you're not gonna catch the bigger whites/hybrids/mutts.
