Gorge in a small boat?

[font "Verdana"][#000000]I have fished out of Sheep Creek in a 10’ 8” Portabote. Took it to Boatmens and all around Kingfisher.

[font "Verdana"][#000000]There’s tons and tons of fishing at the Gorge within 200 - 500 yards of shoreline, and that’s perhaps how you ought to be fishing it in a 12 footer.

[font "Verdana"][#000000]Yes, the wind can come up fast, but it’ll give you a warning-window, and it only takes a minute to reel up and head for the nearest shoreline. Bring rod-holders, throw out a line, and wait it out onshore. As I’ve mentioned to others lately, you get 5 days worth of weather every day at the Gorge. It’s sunny, then it howls for 30 minutes, then it partly clears, then it howls and rains later on…

[font "Verdana"][#000000]So just plan on going when the weather forecast is reasonable, be disciplined enough to reel-up and get and to shoreline when it starts to blow, make a couple of extra baloney sammiches for the occasion, kick back and wait for your shore rods to go tight-line. Be smart and you’ll be fine. Make that your plan.
