Great looking boat! It's interesting how different boat designs evolve to meet local conditions. Here's a boat whose design evolved about 125 years ago to meet the needs of the lumbering industry in north central Mich, 24 feet long, 28 inches wide, and it is used exclusively for fly fishing on the Au Sable and Manistee Rivers.
Anyone who would like a day of fly fishing, this spring or summer,let me know. I've taken Brothers Gardner and Densmore (on different trips) and they are still speaking to me, so the experience must not have been too bad
