Title: New Boat! (Updated with slime pics)
Post by: 7mmfan on February 24, 2011, 05:10:10 PM: Drove to Idaho Falls on Sunday to pick it up. Drove through a blizzard from the Idaho/Montana border all the way down to Idaho Falls, and drove home through blue bird weather all the way to Snoqualmie Pass, which was horrid Monday evening. Looking forward to guiding out of a boat thats built the way I want finally. Now I just need to get to the coast in the next week or so to break it in on some steel!

Post by: 7mmfan on March 05, 2011, 10:55:09 AM: Well finally got the boat out on the water. Hit the Wynoochee on Thursday and Friday. Thursday was great fishing. Hooked out first fish about 30 seconds into the day! What a great way to break in the boat.We ended up hooking 11 fish and landing 7. One wild buck about 12 and a nice mix of hatchery and wild fish after that. Friday wasn't as great but hooked 5 and landed 4. One wild buck about 15 that we didn't get a photo of. Took my uncle and he caught his first steelhead on a fly rod nymphing. He landed 2 yesterday. All in all the boat was great. It rowed, didn't leak and didn't sink so its perfect! If I can round up pics from my buddies camera I'll post them.
