This has been an interesting discussion. I’m looking at building a drift boat in the not to distant future. It will be wood.
Brad’s comment about guide boats cracked me up. It reminded me of some things that we used to say when I was a waterfowl guide in Arkansas. Sports would sort of look at some of the boats we used with befuddlement. Depending upon the day I might be pulling a 16 foot aluminum john boat with an outboard, a 12 foot wooden john boat with oars and outboard, a 16 foot V bottom, or a sneak boat. The rest of the guides were pretty much the same. None of us painted our boats camouflage. The sneak boat was the only one that looked ‘ducky’. None of the rest would have graced the photographs of the magazines. (That little thing could be wild and wooly in a flooded rice field when a front would be whipping in!)
What is a guide boat? The boat from which a guide works.
Little River also has a cool cap; one with the Brookie in Sage Green.
I had to go look in my hat box but, I liked the Little River Fly Shop Brookie hat so much I bought it in both the tan and the green color!!!
No green Sages in this house, only Winstons!!!
😆
I have them both as well.
From what Jarrad said, I reckon I am blessed. I have an 8 wt. TiCrX that is fantastic. It shoots line like a catapult and comes to an almost dead stop at the end of the casting stroke. I wonder if they changed something in their production. I have heard folks say what Jarrad said, and then I have heard others with my experience.
Thanks, Aaron. That is one of my favourite places to fish. I miss Arizona. Well, actually I miss the mountains, the Rim, and several other places. I don’t miss Phoenix. Way too big for me.
