i've been playing with that idea also ,should you go with one wheel say attached to the motor mount ,or two wheels ,one on the back end of each pontoon strapped on .you could push it like a wheel barrel,it sur would make it easyer to get all your stuff (electric motor ,battery,anchor ,cooler)to the lake in one trip
-
how about a holdem tourney ,50$ each all moneys to goto stream watch ,we could all bull *hit about fishing while we play ,winner gets a flyrod or something .or maybe a one day tourney at lake newell 50 boats max ,largest pike wins , a large lake like newell could handle it ,fly fish only of course.

Soooo.... how cold was the water
luckly we also had a pontoon with us .

When you hit "new topic" and start a new post, look below the text box and you will see 2 buttons called "browse" and "upload" Simply browse for your file. Then upload it. It can't be too big either.
thanks SJW i downloaded image resizer, quick and easy know
-
ah i thought you put the anchor out
-
somehow igot this to work ,f bomb cant remember what i did
-
why not as long as you follow bc regs .i would love to enter .that would be something if a flyguy won
-
great idea ,keep it at 50$ per entry and you will have alot of interest.more people =more fun .as far as teams go they should be drawn out of a hat.you could try to have 1 pro ,1 int. and one beginner per team .pending how many people join up.boats or no boats it would be a great weekend for a great cause..

i drive a 6 liter gmc ,and pull 4000lbs and get about350 kms on 90 liters ,hills are no problem .hey rickr thats 15mpg as long as you dont touch the gas pedal

drift boats float so much slower than a pontoon and easy to row .ad to that dry storage ,room for three, no fear of getting a hole in it .also depends on where you are going to fish ,i agree that the pontoon is very light easy to load unload dont even need a boat launch,easy storage .if you add an electric motor to the pontoon would make rowing easyer .if your fishing bow all the time then drift boat .spend the money 3-4 years from now you will be glad you did .if you fish other streams ,lakes where accsess is limited then the pontoon is a great choice .or you could buy a drift boat and each buy your own pontoon .i think you might be able to rent something like that pontoon and try it out.my .02 happy shopping ...
-
wow ,try that on your 8 wt
-
ah crap, going out for dinner now cant make it .
-
right on !! i will be there , what does one bring to these spey partys ?
-
ive caught fish with 12 lb maximum, good thing bow fish are not to leader shy ,but when the water is clear i think you will get more action with lighter line,like tying more flies and leaders that sort of thing.....
-
i think there are lots of 10lb plus fish in the river ,if you had a 12" long whitefish streamer pattern your chances would be better.
-
if you use the rowly type tou should have a swivel before your flies with heaver line so when you break off you dont loose your indy ,it should break on the fly side of swivel.ive lost a few too but not since ive put on a swivel
-
the only problem with them is that adjusting them up and down is not as easy as a pin kind , but they will hold up alot of weight
-
august is always busy on the river you just have to plan ahead ,way back, when i owned a drift boat and it got busy we would stay in the middle of the river and float the speed of the river no rowing to slow down and we would catch lots of fish .like missin the bow says theres no way to police any rules ,time and effort better spent other ways .if you dont like to drive on deerfoot than dont drive on deerfoot my .02.
-
glad you where able to hookup darrin ,kinda lucky you landed your first bow river bow ,on a wire worm,and a effed up reel and that fish still pulled out line .the stars where alined for you on your fisrt trip.

I'll try the snorkle some time, cuz there is a big eddie down stream that it might have gone into..I'll let you know what I find whether its Browns or a Rod..more will be revealled!..Thanks allot for the ideas
i was in that area tonight tryed draging a big streamer on the bottom all i got was weeds ,will keep trying ....
-
It was knocked out of the Rod holder on the side of my boat..any assistance would be appreciated..thanks
the reason i asked was if it was snaged on bottom and your brake wasnt set to loose it may just hang ther in the current or close to bottom ,and we could try to snag it . if it just fell out of the boat with no line out ,well it dosent look good ,its eather swerling around at carseland weir or in bassano res. by know .where was it lost?
-
Hello, I am sad to say that I had a rod go overboard into the Bow river abyss on Sunday 13th of July...sigh..The rod wasn't
great however the reel was of value...it was a Abu Garcia 6w and Lamson (I think) reel w/ green sink tip line. So if anyone dredgs one up
please drop me a line..
Thanks
how did it happen ? snag,fish.where? i might key word (might) be able to help you.....

to avoid trouble with land owners camp on islands . as far as beer goes ,was checked by co years ago in drift boat he looked in our cooler for fish , we had at least a dozen beer in there he didnt say anything .but that was then . he was more concerned about life jackets and if we kept any fish.
-
That could scare alot of fish away, would'nt be a pretty sight if the guy in the front had to start bailing out water.
lmao....
