That would work. The only costs involved in fishing the Green are the over-priced shuttles, but we could run our own. Last time I paid for A it was about $45!! That's just way too much for that shuttle. The B section is around $100, but at least you save a lot of time on that one. Its more worth it to me than the $45 A section. That stretch just isn't that good!
If we hit the right weekend, overnights camping on B are a good way to go too, and the dogs love it! I usually just put in at Little Hole, have a short, slow float for a couple miles to camp, and hang out there for the afternoon/evening/morning before moving on down. Fish a little, swim the dogs, build the fire, etc. May-September is the only time I do it because days are longer, nights aren't too cold, and I usually have 3-day weekends by then.
I might be ready for an A float as soon as March. Whenever we can get out of this sub-freezing crap, and that's going to be a while. Sometimes BWO's start by late March, but on cloudier days.
The next-closest floatable river to me is the Green in Wyoming, and then the Snake. Not much for drift boats in these parts.
