Whoa! Must be that special plexigals triple rod rack – Looks quite effective with the fish…

Hmm, nice job Kevin. That triple rod rack is doing its job. I feel I’ll have to go back to my W soon, and hit the water near the 206 bridge.
8 hours in such a tiny boat is a long time. I don’t know how you guys manage to do it, must be the passion for fishing, or the outdoors, or something.

8 hours! cool
nice fish

Awesome job.
How about some details on how it handled?
Was there any fast water?
8 hours in a W500 is not hard to do at all.
Since you can stand and paddle and change positions with ease, it makes
a long trip very easy to do.
Whats great about long trips with the W500 &300, is the storage space.
Tents, camps stoves and chairs, food, coolers, if your clever, you can load
up pretty good for a long weekend camping trip.
Tight lines and paddle safe all.

It was 8 hours total we walked the bank for a little while when we broke for lunch. I also had to get out a couple of times and walk in some shallows, still I was wore out at the end. Next trip we are looking at is more like 3.5 miles.
