No. This is not really a river for a single man pontoon. The river is very steep (average gradient of about 28′ per mile) and fairly technical, with some demanding rapids, even in low water later in the summer. It’s also about a fifty mile float which therefore requires packing food and gear. It is possible to hike in along most of the river and fish it that way. If you consider doing this, go in August when the water is low and crystal clear.

That mess of a row job was shared by none other than Chubbs Peterson and myself, which may I add Chubbs almost killed us as well on that float, oh ya and thanks for bringing up the green river incident.

I don’t remember the Snake River incident, but I did witness the Green River incident. “Dave, I can’t turn the boat, I can’t turn the boat…we’re going to hit the rock”! And sure enough, we went straight over the rock. Classic! You’re much improved though big hoss!

You know what Tyler I dont know for sure, but my buddy Yetter will. I will have him reply tomorrow. It might be difficult because it is about a 4 day float and you need to pack all your goods in and out. I will find out though. Thanks for the comment.

That sounds like an amazing fishing trip. Is it possible in the fall to float it in a single man pontoon?

I will go as long as I don’t have to man the oars. You know what happened last year on the south fork. I don’t want to almost kill us again.

Yetter was pretty dang good at manning the oars down this rowdy river. Such a cherry fishery that is so unknown. We need to hit it again.
