Hey Diana,

Duh...Why couldn't my puny little brain figure that one out?? Excellent suggestion and I will put it to immediate effect....

I'd rather not say which drift I was on, let's just say that it wasn't the Sauk, it was a river that I am intimately familiar with...

We did go on to catch a decent 14 pound steelhead and touch three others that day...

The feeling I experienced when I pulled back on the oars I can only liken to having dipped my oars into concrete...

Never bail out of the boat behind a log jam is also good advice, if there is an option you want to be on top of the jam and not underneath it that's for sure...

When the boat is properly trimmed shouldn't the stern and bow be approximately the same height above the water??
