Oh, hell yes!....but seriously, now your slumming with oar boats haha Good Grief, sharing the river with Paco Pad Pilots? :- ) I'm a hardcore; born again, resent convert hammocker :- ) I've got a Hennessy double bottom 'Deep Jungle' XL. What else would you use in the desert? haha I like the...

Chevelon is tougher than many of the rim lakes and your exactly right about it getting less traffic. I also like the look of Chevelon Creek it runs though an area that's also pretty rugged. If you were thinking of a Rim and White Mountain trip make sure you don't miss the excellent fishing on...

That's an excellent picture haha I'm glad nobody is that Johnny on the spot with a camara when I'm being silly :- )

I hardly catch browns unless I target them specifically and fish them hard :- ) IME big browns eat meat and biologist say they generally only feed every 3 or 4 days. Once they feed they sit out. When they are feeding they are mostly nocturnal, so it's a first and last light focus in shallow...

We raised our kids in Sheridan, WY and fished the heck out both sides of the Bighorns and over around Cody. My son goes to college in Powell, fly fishes alot around Cody and into Yellowstone. My wife and I moved up to Bozeman, MT after the kids were released into the wild. Bozeman is the...

Yeah awkward was right, 85 lbs is heavy by your lonesome when a boat doesn't have gunnels haha

Spent some time last weekend at Chevelon Lake about a hour from our place on the Moggollon Rim (Mo-gee-on). I took off on Fri mid morning and came home late Sat evening, putting in a quicky hammock camp near the trail head above the lake and commuting in on foot for the fishing. It's a crunchy 4...

Here's a high country Arizona lake about a hour from our property. I took off on a Fri night and came home Sat evening, putting in a quicky hammock camp near the trailhead. It's a crunchy 4 mile Jeep ride to the trailhead with a 3/4 mile hike to the reservoir. I didn't take a canoe, but I'm...

Glad your recovery is going so well. It mentally tough on active folks when they get hurt. Most aren't very good at sitting out and it get's to be pretty depressing. Good to hear your back on the water :- )

Yes they are. Mine had a bit of that issue and required a little work, but it was a small spot and the core was not rotten. The seats in the Easy Rider I had were removable kneeling 'slats' that sat on cleats. We used them with knee pads. It would have been mucho better with saddles and thigh...

Thanks folks :- ) I'm pretty sure they might have something to do with being too close to the big rock, river right of center in the debris fan of Eight Foot Rapid :- ) I thought I was going to use it's pillow and start my right to left move early once I cleared it to avoid the big rocks river...

The dents are in the foam core bottom. I hardly scuffed the stems, I rarely run into anything, but I was rough on the very center of the hull under me and my gear.

Yep

I repaired the gelcoat on my Tuff Stuff Supernova today. I managed to scrape some off to the fabric in a few spots on my San Juan trip. The repair went good, I'm getting fairly handy with gelcoat :- ) But I notice I have a couple very shallow dents and a crease in my hull. It doesnt feel like...

I'm a motivated hammock camper :- )

I'm not sure I hate gelcoat, but I'm pretty good at removing it from my boat one trip at a time, by the way, that's what Nova Craft 'Tuff Stuff' looks like :- )

That's beautiful country! :- )

I did the paddle portage yoke thing ala' 'Path Of The Paddle' haha for the first few months I had my Supernova. Then I bought a generic ash yoke from Harmony cut it to fit, clamped it in place to the gunnels and drilled the gunnels and yoke at the same time. I used a couple 1/4" carriage bolts...

We have on some rivers, but have seen enough bad scenes in whitewater we generally don't. Boat dumps (or dog falls out) in long Class III-IV rapid dog tries to swim for shore, but can't get up the bank for rocks or brush, keeps trying, keeps gets swept, gets exhausted, then cold, then hangs up...

I've seen the 'Coffee Brewer' fixn's is the US, in the freeze dried chow section of a sporting goods store, they seemed pretty expensive to me for a couple cups of coffee. I have a small silicone pour though brewer made my GSI, that sits on the cup and allows simply pouring hot water though...
