    May Trip '08 Nantahala 'n Chattooga

    Jeez bear I just can't get my head around this whitewater thing. Seems to be the equivalent of riding a skateboard on the freeway. Ya should wear armour at the very least. P.s. Don't your fishing lures get tangled in the rocks?

    My first boat

    john's A$$ finally in gear

    Hey guys, thanks for the interest. Have considered a third tube, but as a skinny little bugger at 145lbs I shouldn't need it. If I do then I'll stick one on. Would only consider using this in the flattest of water and not whilst doing aerobics. I reckon anything other than cautious casting and...

    Need Some Advice
