    Last night when I posted this, the 5D labels were masked out. Press release hit this morning. Cool.

    A new G-10 also.

    BIG articulated sculpins, crayfish and leeches are good for the big guys and I’ve been suprised how many smaller fish will take a shot at a 6″ long fly.

    Sex Dungeons, Circus Peanuts and a woolhead/cross cut rabbit body/marabou tail leech have all been good.

    I use lots of weight…or fish lighter flies on a full sinker…and rip them back as fas as possible.

    Black, Olive, White and Brown are more colors than you will need but help add a bit of variety.

    Very nice, Dave.

    Both my boats have been 16 footers, and I really want a 14 footer for my personal use. The design seems more pure on the smaller boat.

    I fall asleep at night dreaming of being a part of something like this.

    Tim: “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.” – TE Lawrence

    You are welcome to come anytime. We will find a way to put you to work at the oars at least part of the time.

    Ben – a lounge lizard in my boat? Nah. Everyone traded at the oars and all took turns rowing and fishing.

    Thanks for the nice words everybody.

    Cool, Dave. Post some photos sometime. I’ve known of Roger’s website since he started it. Everyone who loves driftboats owes Roger a debt for researching and preserving their history. Roger collaborated with Ray Heater some, as I am sure you know. I built two of Ray’s RR kits.

    My friend Karl, built one of Tatman’s kits a few years ago, and we have gotten together every September since. If anyone has a woodie and wants to join us for the event, it’s held the second weekend in September on the White River near Cotter. We are trying to plan a winter or spring fling also. We always have fun listening to comments on the boats from folks who do not know what they are. One man Sunday morning stopped me in a restaurant and wanted to know if the anchor foot release was a keel.

    Thanks, Corey. Cameron, that’s my square ender in the foreground. It’s a great boat for slower tailwaters. Floats higher, more roomy and stable, takes a 15hp if you need one, still white water capable. Interesting history since it was the first to evolve in the McKenzie boats–around 1920–and is the predecessor to the now more common double ender. Also known as a Rapid Robert.

    I too like a little softer 6wt for smallies in small to medium sized waters.
