Oh can't wait! My new ride...

Post by DaveH »

Yay for me! I bought a pontoon boat!

Now... I just need some help figuring out where I can use it! *laughs*

I promised myself more fly-fishing this year, especially now that I have the pontoon, so if anyone is making any early ice-out trips and doesn't mind a rookie coming along, please IM me!

I picked up a new 5wt TFO outfit at the same time as my Klamath LP pontoon - so, I'm getting rigged!

Dave,

Welcome back to the darkside! ;-)

A number of us will be fishing up the valley for brookies and bows once the ice is out. The older (i.e. retired/semi-retired) guys like to fish Fridays, unfortunately some of us still have to work. :roll:

If you don't already have sinking line you might wish to pick some up. All of us fishing the lakes take 2 rods out on the water, 1 with floating line the other with an appropriate sinking line.

Cheers,
Todd

Congrats are in order on the new boat! I also recently purchased and it was a hard decision... I really like the pontoon boat for all of the non-fishing ammenities and wanted to go there. The only reason I didn't is because I like to keep my boat out of the water and my house in bbq-haven has a small lot/small driveway and I didn't think I could fit the larger boat in without neighbourhood uproar...

Looking for some photos when you get out there... with or without fish.. (perferably with)

Hookup, I don't think the pontoon Dave mentioned would have any problems storing anywhere, infact it only weighs 52lbs :lol: :wink:

Nice purchase Dave :D

Congrats on the new 'toon Dave. Check your PMs for a potential weekend outing for toothy critters.
