Hey Pat,
Some loonie in my neighbourhood has one Outcast oar. I had it leaning on my vehicle while I was inside getting something. When I got back it was gone. So now I'm waiting on a new pair shipped from Colorado. In the meantime I managed to rig an old two piece kayak paddle that had one broken blade into a temporary substitute. After my success in the tube I switched over to the pontoon to check out the "jury rigged " oar. It works fine and with my piece of plywood spanning my frame I caught four trout bigger than the one in the picture while standup flycasting. These fish were caught on one of your white head, white marabou/crystal flash ponies. So your "mojo" was working too!
God Bless,
Don
Micheal,
I also flyfish from my kayak a fair bit and I guess I've been posting on the yakfisher site more than here. From a pure fishing standpoint the float tube reigns supreme. I had a big trout clear the water in pursuit of a damselfly 2 feet away from me. If I could cover water in my tube, I would probably fish from it all the time. Often times I lash it onto the back of my kayak. That way I can switch to the tube for finesse fishing.
Did you read about my close encounter with the moose?
God Bless
