River Help

[pontoonman]

Does anyone of your floating group know the river? If not get as much info as possible maybe from internet and satelite sources. Mostly you need to know how much portaging and how deep, fast, and narrow. You will need some way to move away from obstructions as they come up during your float, anything from rocks, logs, tree limbs, to barb wire, etc. This can be done with paddles, poles or flippers if deep enough. You may be able to hold position simply by standing up, heading for shore, or tying up to tree limbs or may need an anchor if river is deep with steep banks. I have had good luck catching fish in shady areas before or after rapids- around structure casting upstream in general.

Hope this helps.

I have had a pontoon boat now about a year and spent most of my time on lakes and now I have been asked to do a float on a river in wyoming and have never floated a river before! So I am asking for some advise from everyone, will I need my flippers? positioning? etc, this will be a 3 day float and lots of fly fishing! please help?
