I never considered fishing from a drift boat being a consummate wader but I went on a drift boat trip on the Yakima river with a buddy and and experienced guide/rower. I have to admit it was a blast and we hammered the trout as well. He made it clear what the rules were from the start and that made for an enjoyable experience with no mishaps. Thanks for the entertaining video!

I had my first time rowing a boat on the A section of the green last October. I did a 360 down the Mother-In-Law rapid and had forgotten to put my pfd back on. Some guide witnessed the whole thing from another boat and made me feel like a real ass-hat.

You can fill a water bottle with Crown Royal and tell the guide it’s iced tea. Makes for an interesting day. Better if you’re good friends with the guide. Could also be good to know how to row. 😉😃

AJMC we learned that the last day of a lodge trip on the Clark Fork at St Regis Mt. Drinking day anyway, guide( good friend) grabbed the bottle thinking it was iced tea to wash down a bottle of Mudslides. He said everything changed after that. Fun float. Not a lot of fish!! 😂🐟

The bow is the back. A driftboat is a rowboat so the bow faces in the direction of the rower's back. The bow is the best spot in a driftboat because it's right in back of the cooler.
@braapbraaap52814 жыл бұрын
No, the bow of a boat is defined as the end of the boat facing forward when the boat is underway. Driftboats are propelled by the drift of the river, you aren't "rowing" them - you're steering them as the river flows.
@anisenkrill61794 жыл бұрын
@@braapbraaap5281 Galloway method/technique requires a stern-first (the "stem" in driftboat terms) orientation down river with the bow facing upriver (the direction of propulsion at the rower's back). The boat moves in reverse downstream while underway in the opposite direction.

Im less than awesome, last time wife and I in the boat. You could hear us argue from NE. I told you to practice your casting! I do! The hell you do! you can't cast ten dam feet! I need you to be able to cast the at least one rod length from the boat. Dam it not side of boat!! that's 3:00 cast at 1;oo from the bow! dam it the bow it the front! Just sit down and drink we have 9 mile to go!! if you won't practice casting will ya at least row on a lake so I can fish flat sections of the river. Oh look more guides wondering why I yelling! ahhh great day on the river with my wife.

My boat is metal as fuck \m/ and studs are mandatory on the river that we're not allowed to fish from out of the boat on. So we're basically a wading taxi. Also, any whisky worth drinking comes in glass bottles. And weed is legal. You can say weed. Say it. Weed. Weeeeeeeed.
