Hello Fellow Anglers,
I have never fished using a drift boat, but have done some duck hunting in my Grumman 14' canoe. I have been just wading to do my fly fishing for all my years.
I'm thinking of teaming up with another buddy to drift the Upper Delaware in my canoe, then beaching it to fish the usual way using waders. I don't have the bucks to get a nice drift boat and have a regular 12 ft aluminum with 10hp outboard. So I don't want to get a special boat for drift fishing.
Do any of you other fly fishermen use a canoe to fish the Upper Delaware? I know there are a lot of canoe users up there and the campgrounds schedule drop offs for their members. I just want to know more about it before I go ahead and launch it for fly fishing the Upper Delaware. If you do it this way with a canoe from time to time I could use some pointers.
Thanks!
