Welcome to this great group!
Sounds great, how do inflatable pontoons hold up against rocks etc.? i am considering fueless crafts to fish and explore with here in the Ozarks. Lived in Sacto. many years ago, loved the area, just hated the developers pouring cement everywhere . I rarely visit CA. but still have friends in Sacto, maybe we can hook up,(oops no pun intended!)and do some Fishing. Oh what do you use to fish with? I used to use a clear float with a live worm or lure 2-3ft. off, and let it drift with good success in moving water. I guess Fly Fishing would be a good way at times,and you can use a clear float with a fly as well, an article thru this site describes this method. Well have Fun , and Take it easy, AJ
