bowbonehead Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi All, i lost a black Hyde Oar upstream from Police on Saturday. Any one hearing of it found would be rewarded. Much appreciated, thanks Was it floating... a lot of the synthetics particularly the counter balanced ones have a habit of sinking. They tend to end up in the bottom of a run sticking up at an angle from the bottom, hopefully as the water drops someone will spot it and post its recovery on here or in one o the fly shops. I would be sure to post a description at all the fly shops and there's a decent chance of its recovery. I feel for you as they are pretty tough to chase with one oar. I have found a few over the years and have been able to find the owners of all but one (counter-balanced cataract) still have it somewhere. I will be out on the water drifting on Thursday and Friday I will keep an eye out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Bowbonehead, we didn't have the power oar in the back or a spare oar. Dave just "canoed" the Lavro till I could grab it. Could have be an interesting trip around the fast corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
