Not only that, but its an old-fashioned big tub that's LAB FRIENDLY! 80's vintage Slide-Rite. No frills, and I wouldn't want to guide out of it regularly, but it carries a load if needed, and is still a little "sporty" with a light day-trip load. (Me, you, your pup, and ONE of mine)

When things warm up around here a little . . .

How are you on the oars??[sly] I'll usually only cast to rising fish, and a few hours of casting is usually enough for me in a day unless they're really looking up. Maybe a few miles of blind chuckin' though.

i was a rafting guide on the american river in cali.... i ran both the boats and the oar boat, im a decent oars man. being where your up at, i was looking for a sections only, that way its not to long of a day for either of us? again im willing to split what ever costs are necessary, and if there is a launching fee i am willing to pay for it also. ill camp at little hole that night and do a few miles of walk fishing the next day before i head back down here, and yea, when it warms up lol

That would work. The only costs involved in fishing the Green are the over-priced shuttles, but we could run our own. Last time I paid for A it was about $45!! That's just way too much for that shuttle. The B section is around $100, but at least you save a lot of time on that one. Its more worth it to me than the $45 A section. That stretch just isn't that good!

If we hit the right weekend, overnights camping on B are a good way to go too, and the dogs love it! I usually just put in at Little Hole, have a short, slow float for a couple miles to camp, and hang out there for the afternoon/evening/morning before moving on down. Fish a little, swim the dogs, build the fire, etc. May-September is the only time I do it because days are longer, nights aren't too cold, and I usually have 3-day weekends by then.

I might be ready for an A float as soon as March. Whenever we can get out of this sub-freezing crap, and that's going to be a while. Sometimes BWO's start by late March, but on cloudier days.

The next-closest floatable river to me is the Green in Wyoming, and then the Snake. Not much for drift boats in these parts.
