We have brand new Fly Fishing Drift boats on the Middle Fork and wood Dories on the Main now, so it is a really amazing new way to experience the rivers. The drift boats on the Middle have large fishing casting braces that are padded for easy casting.
The huge rocker on the wooden Dories makes the wave trains on the Main Salmon just amazing. It feels like being in a gondola in Venice but you are floating on a historic wooden boat in the largest roadless wilderness area in the us, seeing incredible historic relics of a time past and meeting present day pioneers along the way. Dave and Sue at Yellow Pine Bar makes knives with mountain mohagany handles all from the old cable at Campbell’s Ferry. Heinz and Barbara at Buckskin Bill’s and Phyllis and Doug at Campbell’s Ferry share their intimate knowledge of the canyon with us. After riding a Dory on the Main you will think the elegance and grace and style of the Dory is far superior than a rubberized raft. In fact I’ll make a bet with you that you even call regular rafts “ugly” after riding with us down the Main Salmon.
