Looking For Long Distance Pontoon Trip Recommendations

[Uncle Jesse]

Mark -It seems to me that doing even 20 miles a day is a long way to float on most any river if you want to do a reasonalbe amount of fishing and enjoy the float, intead of spending most of your time on the oars.

I have a medium sized cataraft and a drift boat and anything over 10-12 miles is a pretty long day float for me. John

Thanks for saying that John, I have never fished any of the western rivers but have float the Chattahoochee River numerous times. Fishing the entire time, I have spent 8 hours or more several times on 2 to 5 miles of river. Twenty miles seemed long to me and 35 miles sounded like constant rowing. If something go wrong there would be a long way between point where help would be available. I'm guessing cell phones are pretty much useless along many of the rivers. I would rather arrive at my campsite with time to spare than float down an unknow river in the dark. Mark is smart to ask ahead rather than having harrowing tales to tell later.
