Don't Always Listen To The Guy On The Bank!
Don't Always Listen To The Well Meaning People On The Bank!
You know the kind...The friendly guy that's just full of advice.
These folks decided to drift the river anyway and had a great time and caught a ton of fish to boot.
As always though, remember that anytime you step foot in the river, you're taking a risk.

"What a great day to be on the river! When we got down to the access, there was a nice man who began telling us about his friends attempting the same float, but never made it. He made a few other remarks to try and persuade us into not attempting our journey. We chose to ignore his advice, as my PAC 800 had already proven it could handle tougher waters than these.
The rest of the day consisted of catching fish, shooting rapids, getting a tan, and having a great time.
The three of us used three different methods to catch fish. I chose to high stick the faster water with a double nymph rig. A size 12 Hare's Ear with an olive Bird's Nest (#14) did the trick. My friend Mike chose to use an indicator with a Bird's Nest (#12) and an olive Poopah (#14). Our other friend, Mike, used a dry with a nymph dropper. All three of us caught a ton of fish through the entire float. It was amazing to see how many fish were in the tailouts. These fish would stare up at us as we floated by, at least the ones that we didn't catch. "
