There is a book about rowing drift boats available. I have seen it at Teds in Lynnwood.

When I started rowing, 3 of the first 5 drifts I made were the Sol Duc Shuwah Run, Sauk, and Cable Hole to Gold Bar on the Sky (hows that for jumping in head first). The first thing I learned was always keep your bow toward danger so that you can row off if it. If you live in the Seattle area I would suggest rowing from Sultan to Monroe on the Sky. There aren't any areas that you can get into trouble, and there is alot of good water to fish.

Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
