With this boat, I can concentrate more on looking for fish rather than balance. I pole the boat around using a long aluminum pool pole with a small paddle attached …
The extra height provides a great distance to look for fish. I was rewarded with sighting a number of reds and did manage to trick one with a fly. Continue reading →
