I've been captain of my driftboat for five years, my experience is limited entirely to one river Class 1 river, the Hoh. I feel I am ready to take the next step and move up a class in river...

With boater safety (or lack thereof)being such a prominent topic of discussion lately I thought this a perfect time to solicit the opinions of those who have already made the step up in class...

Which float should I do first? I have fished the section of the Sol Duc from the put in at the sort yard to Leyendeckers from a raft although it was prior to owning a driftboat.

Please, if I could afford to pay a guide to show me the way I would have done that by now...nothing personal Bob.

Any input would be much appreciated...
