    • @OutdoorHighlife
      @OutdoorHighlife 14 днів тому

      Thank you! I use onX maps. Regarding how many days, it kind of depends on how much fishing you want to do, water levels, hanging out camp, etc.. I personally like 4 days. That’s about 6 miles a day, gives you plenty of time to fish, set up camp, and not be rushed. We had no problem at all getting across to Riley, but water was low and not generating much of Bull Shoals. It will vary depending on how much they are generating out of Bull Shoals and Buffalo water levels

    He paddled over some of the best fishing water. In that warmer weather river smallmouth will move into the faster water as it's more oxygenated and cooler. Also, they can wait for the food to come to them. I've not found the slower holes to be all that productive, particularly in the warmer weather. I want some moving water.

I hope to have a raft sorted out no later than this next spring. Right now I'm trying to sort out exactly what i want in a camping topper set up. I want a fridge and that requires power. Lol.

    • @OutdoorHighlife
      @OutdoorHighlife Місяць тому

      The floor is pretty’s solid in this raft, so probably won’t add a wood floor. I’m definitely looking at getting a Bimini top for it, especially when just toting around the family. It would probably get in the way when trying to fly fish, but for just floating, it would be nice to have one for sure! Good luck on your search! These framed rafts are a great way to go down river and have fun!
