    Agree with most everything you said. Been FF CAL for over 50 years, and it's pretty safe to say, that if it's talked about extensively on the interweb, there's a good chance it's overfished and over...

    Yep, we can sure agree to disagree. CF has been around forever, and is widely used in the aerospace industry (to name just one). It's use and properties are pretty well known to engineers. In the...

    Call me skeptical about CF drift boats. The pounding a skiff takes from the seas is completely different than the pounding a drift boat takes when it hits a rock. Kevlar is great at absorbing impact...

    Don't know about a carbon fiber drift boat. While extremely light, carbon fiber can't take a hit very well. I'd imagine it would be a dream to row due to it's low weight, but durability might be...

    Ran into the exact same issue a few years ago. ADMINS tried to fix it, nothing worked. Had to re-register with a new user id and email address.

    I've owned a pair of Korkers with interchangable soles a few years ago. My experience was much like Steelies, they fall off pretty easily and the attachment points crack fairly quickly rendering them...

    The river was at 8500 when I crossed it yesterday. About as clear as it was at 4500, and just as many guides boats as usual. It looked very fishable. Unfortunately, I won't get the chance to fish it...

    Saw 10 trailers at Bonnyview when I went to CostCo this morning. The guides are still pounding it.

    I have several Orvis Hydros reels that I use for bonefishing. An excellent reel with an excellent drag. Have never had a problem with them.

    I have three of them. Great reels with a great drag. Haven't had any issues with them in the salt for the 5 years I've owned them. Use them for tarpon and dorado.

    Both BC and AK are very expensive places to fish. No way around it. What's your actual budget? I'd recommend looking into the rivers in WA for a much cheaper quality steelhead location.

    Age is a relative thing and it all depends on your physical shape, and more importantly, how many people you know who can actually row! I'm 66 and I don't row the LSAC any longer. Anything fast gets...

    I second what MT said. If you're only going to use it a couple times per year, far cheaper to hire a guide. I have both a drift boat and a small jet sled, and I use the jet sled far more often than...

    UMMMMM, you do realize that when a fishery is discussed all over the interwebs, including this forum, the end result is gonna be crowds. And unfortunately with that popularity comes guides in boats.
