They do some of this on the Missouri, with a Diablo SOT/SUP. Looks like it would be great for getting from place to place, & maybe casting from also in the calmer waters using the chair. Headhunters in Craig sells & may rent also.
-
I use to buy mine from a Bulk Fuel Dealer, they just pumped into a Blue Kerosene Can similar to a Red Gas Can.

Have a look at the Sage, expensive but bomb proof, great bag! Have had mine for 2 years, rides around in back seat of my truck, to the boat, back to the truck, to a different boat, taken everywhere & not taken care. not abused but just used, no issues at all.

Jordo,
That's a nice Caddis, I know of a place where it would work like a hot dam.
-
It's the Bow. I drift in my own boat, rivers in Montana, some smaller & some bigger but all fished more than the Bow & have never seen the lack of etiquette that I see here, & not just guides.

I'm on my 3rd pair. I just contacted Orvis they gave me the address to send them to, & a couple of weeks later brand new pair with any changes to the new model they have come out with since the original purchase. To be honest everytime I thought ok this time I'm going to have to buy new ones been looking at Simms, but I send back anyway, & there is the new ones delivered to the door. I cant get out of them but now that you talk about the 6 month thing maybe I' will have to buy new ones, & Orvis is coming out with a new model, similar to Simms, welded & the zipper, so maybe thats why the six month thing, they have probably quit making the Proguide 3's to replace with.

Fine then,drift boat or otherwise,my question is why not mount your anchor pulley to the bow,keep yourself outta the inherent trouble that comes from doing things bass-ackwards anchoring stern-to the current and be done with it instead of trying to re-invent the wheel?I too made a living on the water for 20+ yrs and run everything from square stern river canoes to skiffs and dories to 65' scallopers and every size lobster boat in between,and NEVER in my life have I seen ANYBODY(with the exception of Bow R. "experts")foolish enough to anchor stern to the current,tide,or wind?Yes by,I might be just another dumb Maritimer me,but me tinks me knows a ting er two bout boats me son.Hell,most you lads doneven knows how to row proper FFS,ye sits facin' the wrong way and rows backwards den drops anchor stern to......Lard Jeezis is no wander mar a yas flatlanders doesnt gets swamped and drowneded??
Really? Come on! Really? Your BSing right?

I wandered about it getting wedged in rocks & not being able to recovered & maybe having to be cut off. To me the pyramid anchor would be easier to recover

Yes, my Clack has a serial # also. If you are going to travel back & forth across the border with your boat there is one thing I'd like to add, I bought mine from the US second hand & even though I had no issues with the intial time bringing it across the border, the times since has caused me to carry my original paper work with me everytime I cross the border coming back. I pull the boat a couple of times a year to Montana & have had to pull into the big grey building once to prove I wasnt smuggling the boat across even though I had the boat for a couple of years.
Enjoy

I had a pair also & they are the Cats Ass, The thing I liked was the power you can get, & also because of the way they are curved you can even walk a little, clumsy but if you hook up with a fish & half to move from the boat to the shore it can be done

Watch for The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing starting next week, Telus has it channel 126, March 14th
-
And if I may add to the question, if you do, do you tie to the hook shaft, or the loop, and why?
Mostly off the bend to the second fly because it is easy.

I throw 2 sreamers sometimes with a couple of different leader set ups, sometimes streamers with small lead eyes or beads, occasional tangle, but no more than casting 2 nymphs.

Try their website, www.peirowayrods.com

Thanks for the heads up. I live in Airdrie so easy for me. I sent an email, about the flytying books

Please accept this reply as an entry for the draw.
Thanks

Wet Duck got me in to Airflo's Cold Water 20lb running line. I like it a lot, now on 2 reels.
-
If you can still find it, try The Phenological Fly by Bob Scammell published byJohnson Gorman Publishers of Red Deer where I believe Mr Scammell. Also Jim McLennans book Trout Streams of Alberta.
Thes books talk about & show flys & patterns with hooks sizes for Alberta's Bugs

I have a older Clack & the only things that I would change is the rear leg brace to a newer version. It is a pain to climb over when changing rowers or sometimes getting in & out, but it is a good place to store the cooler when only 2 in the boat & the road storage. I have extra rods hanging out the back sometimes & have to make dam sure they are secure. I just about lost one once going under some trees & just by luck I caught before it went overboard.
-
Good rod storage, & strong rounded chines, the Bow has rocks.

I have been reading all these post, & thinking how fortunate all of you are to be able to go after Steelhead, it's on my bucket list, but job & funds keep me from it. I have been accumulating the equipment, the rods, & flies to be ready. For the record I swing flies on the Bow a lot & even though I catch more fish while nymphing I absolutely love the casting, the swinging, & the Tug & because of this I want or need to feel the same with a Steelhead. 1000 casts, who cares if I can get that Tug, that 1 big electrical type shocking Tug!
