I've been aware of these boats for a long time. I think they are of top quality. I have a Scadden Renegade, so I don't need one right now, but if the time comes to replace the Renegade, I'm...

Jeff,
Thanks so much! That's tremendous information and really helps me. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to respond in such detail. Because of the snow, I guess it will be too early in...
For the past few years I have hiked in waders and wading boots from Chota Outdoor Gear. I use their Hybrid 800 High Top Rubber Soled Boot, and their Chota "Hippies" (hip waders). I use these often on...
Thanks for the post, Bob. I'm anxious to try the Keiryu.
Compare Waterstrider and Watermaster. The Waterstrider is lighter and just as tough. It's made by a different company.
I've got an old pickup (1994) that I pretty much just use for fishing. It has a camper shell. I store my Scadden Renegade in it partially deflated. It gets hot in the Sacramento Valley, but I have...
I am still hiking a lot in my Chotas (earlier posts in this thread). I used them in the Trinity Alps in June, and in the Eastern Sierras in both July and late September. They have a lot of miles on...
I haven't read all of the 8 forum pages about this decision, but I'll be really sorry to see the forum go. I have been a member for two or three years. I have learned a lot and I have contributed. I...
I have an Eide boat loader and have used it for many years. It's a very, very safe and secure way to transport a small boat. I have an 8 foot aluminum boat and a 12 foot one. They go on my Eide. One...
Just got back from six one day hikes in the Trinity Alps. I hiked in the Chota Hybrid 800 wading/hiking boots with the Chota Caney Fork wading/portage socks. Round trip, I suppose I hiked a total of...
Wow!, this has really been a supportive group. Above on 3-6-18 I posted what I intended to buy, but I checked out things a little more and changed my mind. I ordered something from Chota that arrived...
Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice. I think I'll call Simms and ask about their Simms guard wading sock and Vapor Hiking/Wading boot. I'll almost certainly get the Simms guard wading...
Looking for advice...In the spring I want to hike into a Trinity Alps lake. I'm 71 years old and will have to cross four streams that will probably have water flowing to nearly knee level. I can wear...
The site for Watermaster kickboats is bigskyinflatables. They sell 5.5' SST oars with pre-drilled holes. They are expensive and I don't know if Sawyer drills the holes or if Big Sky Inflatable drills...
Gotta second avidangler's post. Dan Bailey is where I go for waders.
Thanks, Zeke. Good to know.
What website do you use to find this information on Fuller? It would be good to know, not just for now...but for the future also.
Thanks.
I have an old Eagle fish finder. I strap it on my Scadden Renegade and use it on lakes. It doesn't have GPS, but I don't want or need it. It shows me the bottom, and marks areas that have fish. If I...
I have used that Loctite Vinyl, Fabric & Plastic Flexible Adhesive to attach a Scotty rod holder and a Triple Rod Holder to my Scadden Renegade. It works great. I have no regrets.
I have also been looking at fishing kayaks. I'm 68 and am in good shape. I also want light weight plus stability. I have found four that fit our criteria:
Feel Free Moken 10 Angler...61 lbs.

The Waterstrider intrigues me too. Let us know what you think of it.
I've had a Renegade for two seasons and love it. It is 9' long and 28 pounds. I'm a stillwater fisherman. I use it a lot in the Eastern Sierras and it is very easy to carry to the shore of lakes that...
I have a Scadden Renegade and use the Scotty anchor system with it. I like it very much. My anchor is a mesh bag filled with 8 to 10 pounds of rocks. I strap the anchor system at an angle, and don't...
