Milo was awesome! I always looked followed to seeing him.
So sorry Alex

The feeder creeks are dropping fast so there might be a chance the upper section will be fishing this weekend.
The Russian takes forever to clear. I fished it twice last winter and I only live 5 minutes away.
If you're gonna plunk, literally fish at your feed.
Good luck.

I have an extra one that you're welcome to barrow in case you don't get your order in time.

I'll try and be there and I'll bring a few newbies too

I love ling killings... So they didn't open up yorty creek yet?

Nope

Thanks for sharing
Very cool.

Have you checked out the Outcast Commander or Water Master Inflatables?

I had a Dave Schadden/North Fork outfitters pontoon for years.
It was too heavy to be carrying around without wheels but it was super maneuverable, pulled plugs easily and got me into spots that were too tight for driftboats.
I looks like he's making inflatable kayaks now too. Might be worth checking out.
Don't trust his ratings when it comes to whitewater though. He's full of shit

Another option is a Jackson Kayak Coosa. It isn't inflatable but it's a badass Steelhead Slaying Kayak.

Thanks Eric.  Great discription on tackle and technique. We are headed up to the Navarro and Gracia. Maybe a little time on brush creek or alder creek. Smalll water is my favorite. I love the hiking. May look you up in a year or two when I'm comfortable with Andrew handling a kayak on his own. He us 11. He has been in the ocean solo twice. Dont tell his mom. He has the confidence and smarts just needs to be a little stronger paddler.

Are you planning on kayaking down those rivers?
If so, be careful out there.
All those steams you mentioned are overgrow and the switchbacks are dangerous.
Good luck
