    Hiking in?

    Thanks Paul I had a packraft and loved it. Especially on low water where nobody else is on the river. I don’t think it’s the best option like you state for fishing from. In the ideal world I’m not sure how many different water craft I would really like to call my own. More than I have and I have...

    Elwha to open for Tribal Coho Fishing

    Looks like there’s 2 threads on the same topic https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/tribes-fish-and-wdfw-roll-over-again.4850/unread Can they be combined?

    Tribes fish and WDFW roll over again.

    I don’t know if it makes much of a difference now but the hatchery was built during a time that the Elwha had 2 dams with no chance for upstream migration. Also without the tribe those 2 dams would still be there. If we want to see fishing ever return to the Elwha learning to work with the...

    Hiking in?

    I’ve been experimenting and I think I had it backwards. Since my main concerns was the strap attachments on the tube when all my gear and pack were loaded on and the floppy nature when carrying the load, I switched it up. I’ve now tried strapping the tube onto my fully loaded frameless backpack...

    Hiking in?

    How do you manage your float tube and gear when hiking/biking into an area. I’m worried about pulling the strap attachments out. Me thinks I’m just hauling in too much stuff, maybe?

    First raft trip

    Yes the floor does move but so does the raft while floating so you really don’t notice it. I’m not anal about it and inflation changes with temp and sun but I adjust the cams so the floor kinda drags or sits on the rafts floor. I bet as often as I check the frame floor is just sitting on the...

    First raft trip

    Cool! Maybe consider decking over your right tube (see pic below, can use plywood instead of diamond plate) It’s going to be hard to get in the raft from the left due to the rods. Decking on the frame is game changer. So easy to step on then step in. Now add a suspended floor and you can even...

    First raft trip

    Your spare oar is kinda like your spare donut tire. It’s a “just in case”. Anything to get you to the car. If you’re on a multi day, hard trip maybe you’ll want to more closely match your oar but otherwise something close will work. I’ve only lost one oar in and that was a big flip in big water...

    First raft trip

    My daughter was a guide for Northwest. These are high quality schools coming from a white water point of view. Safety will be a focus as will understanding hydrodynamics and how to read the water. They will also get you into real class III. After a class like these I believe that anyone who...

    2 weeks in BC, where do you go?

    Great insights, thanks. The more I dig the more BC is offering in available information. The problem I’m having now is just trying to narrow the choices!
