low bridge

Sometimes on a river you have never floated you encounter an "obstacle" , most of the time they just surprise you and you go on, sometimes you are alerted ahead of time and can prepare. Such was the case, with the low bridge. However, when they mean low bridge, they mean't it. Thank goodness we listened and took off the leaning bar , as the rowers seat still need a little coaxing to fit under the bridge.

This was just another great section of river in the West to fish, that will be forever remembered.

Happy Memorial Weekend

As we look forward to the long holiday weekend, it’s important to remember the meaning of Memorial Day – a time to reflect on those who served in the military on our behalf and sacrificed their lives for the good of others.

Happy Memorial Weekend from Floatfisher, with the rivers blown out, Floatfisher will be hanging up the hat, relaxing, shooting a few photo's and sipping a few mules. Hope your all celebrate safe and find a few fish on the end of your lines.
