    Looking For A One Man Float Boat Thoughts?

    I bought the Outcast Stealth Pro this spring. So far so good. Used a few times at Beaver, Police and down in Montana. Very easy to carry to the water and it rows nice. (I have yet to get it on open water)

    The main reason I bought it was the ease of getting it into and out of my vehicles. I can leave it 70% full and get into my fishing van for the short hauls or I can roll it up and place it in the trunk of my car for longer road trips.

    My story starts in Wales, Llyn y Fan Fach, a remote lake in the Black Mountains, where a young farmer named Gwyn won and then tragically lost the love of his life. (My Mother)

    He fell in love with a beautiful woman who emerged from the water and she agreed to marry him but warned him she would leave him forever if he struck her three times.

    They lived happily for many years and had three sons (BBT I was he eldest) but when Gwyn struck her playfully for the third time she disappeared into the lake and he never saw her again.

    She would sometimes re-appear to her sons and teach them the powers of healing with Cake and pastries. They became skilful bakers, as did their children after them. All but one, BBT was set on spending all his time on the remote lake looking for his dear Mother and thus was born a great Fly Fisherman.

    One foggy eve on that great lake I lost my way and ended up capsized and sinking to the bottom, I felt a gentle tug on my arm as I was raised up and out of harm’s way.

    That night my Mother told me that no matter where I go or where I fish that she will always be right there by my side; with this peace of mind I boarded a ship and headed to my new home in Calgary;

    Once here I realized that not only will my Mother be watching over me but after all those years on that lake had turned me into the most superior angler this World has ever seen and so another legend was born.
