I have very little experience with my new little 8 foot Jon boat with electric trolling motor. I have taken it out to several different lakes and it has done great, but that is it.
My question is will I have any trouble on the Snake River with it? I would like to just use it to fish for bass by the shores, but not really knowing much about boating or currents I'm worried about getting out there on it and being swept down stream and not having enough power to get back upstream. I would like to go out from Centennial Park in Twin Falls, but don't want to get stranded a few miles downstream with no way to get my boat back to the dock. Anyone have any experience with a similar type boat and trolling motor on the snake?
